- to taste
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Bread
- 2 slices (whole grain or gluten-free if desired)
- Avocado

Instructions
- Begin by toasting the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until they are golden brown and crispy. This step is crucial for a satisfying crunch.
- While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado. Use a fork to mash the mixture until it's creamy but still slightly chunky, allowing the texture to shine through.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado mixture generously over each slice, making sure to cover every edge for maximum flavor.
- For an extra kick, sprinkle the top with red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves for a burst of color and freshness. If desired, drizzle a bit of olive oil on top for added richness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your deliciously vibrant avocado toast!
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding sliced radishes, cherry tomatoes, or a sprinkle of hemp seeds on top.
- If you're feeling adventurous, swap the lemon juice for lime juice for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Experiment with different types of bread; sourdough and rye add excellent flavor and texture.
