We’re in between holidays and most of us are a little hurried. Have you had too much fancy food? Too many calories? Today let’s talk about a simple breakfast, snack, or lunch – avocado toast. Avocado toast is not rocket science. It pretty much is the name – toast and avocado but it can also be much more. What type of bread do you use? Do you just slice the avocado and or do you mash it? Personally I have tried it many different ways. I’ve sliced avocado and also mashed the ripe avocado before spreading it on toast.
Lemony Avocado Toast
Let’s first start with an upgrade to the mashed avocado. Today we’ll upgrade the toast with a pinch of cayenne pepper, fresh cilantro, lemon juice and zest, and a few seeds. I’m using chia seeds with all their nutritional benefit. You could also use poppy or sesame seeds. If you aren’t a fan of cilantro or have trouble finding it, you can substitute parsley or mint fresh herbs. Now think of your favorite breakfast foods: eggs, bacon, smoked salmon. How about a handful of baby spinach on your sandwich? Slice of tomato? Then consider additions like pickled onion, sriracha sauce, or any of your favorite taste enhancers. Like a sprinkle of feta or goat cheese? You can make all kinds of variations with any of these additions. Feel free to add or delete ingredients to meet your needs for a superb taste!

Yummy avocado recipes. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day and week ahead. Thanks for visiting my blog this past year! Happy New Year, I wish you all the best in 2020!
I don’t do avocado toast much but this post is getting me motivated! These look delicious!

…looks delish.
Your photos look very yummy and I always enjoy healthy recipes. Wishing you a very Happy New Year and thanks so much for your visits and comments. As a new blogger, it is very encouraging. All my best.
Your salad looks so bright and cheerful. Happy new year X #mmbc
Delicious. I would definitely not add the cheese, but the rest of the ideas are terrfific.
I had never heard of avocado toast and bam, its everywhere. I have only had it once but I plan on sampling more. Your versions sound especially delicious.
Avocado by itself can be blah. Mash and add what you like. I love avocado with lemon, garlic powder, and tomatoes. I invented avocado BLT a couple of years ago and it’s additive.
Oh, I love avocado toast ~ it is going to be my New Year’s Eve treat ~ Great variety of toppings here ~ thanks, ^_^
Happy New Year to You,

I love avo toast and the variations that you shared. I practically drooled. Thanks for sharing and have an absolutely blessed and bountiful 2020.
The variations are easy and such fun to make your avocado toast amazing!
Oh my days Carol! I am in heaven right now! I love avocado and these variations sound amazing. I have my avocado sliced on toast with scrambled egg and finely chopped spring onions (scallions).
Your variation sounds wonderful but I really need a little lemon juice please!
