Description
A simple, vibrant avocado toast topped with sweet cherry tomatoes and crisp radishes, offering a delightful crunch and creamy texture. It is a quick, family-friendly dish perfect for brightening any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados (about 300g total)
- 4 slices sturdy bread
- 1 cup (150g) sweet cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
- 4–5 small radishes (50g), thinly sliced
- 0.5 lemon
- 0.25 tsp sea salt
- 0.125 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- Pinch red pepper flakes, optional garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, optional garnish
Instructions
- Toast Your Bread: Heat your favorite toaster or use a skillet on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden-brown and crisp.
- Prepare The Avocado: In a small bowl, scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocados. Mash them with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving a few chunky bits for texture. Season generously with the 0.25 tsp sea salt, 0.125 tsp black pepper, and a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 Tbsp) to prevent browning and add brightness.
- Slice The Confetti: On a cutting board, thinly slice the cherry tomatoes and radishes into small, colorful pieces.
- Assemble Toast: Spread the mashed avocado generously and evenly onto each piece of warm, toasted bread.
- Finish And Serve: Arrange the vibrant cherry tomato and radish confetti evenly over the mashed avocado. For extra flair and a touch of heat, sprinkle with a pinch of red pepper flakes or some fresh chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crisp.
Notes
To choose a perfectly ripe avocado, it should yield slightly to gentle pressure. Store tomatoes at room temperature and radishes in the fridge for crispness. Selecting a sturdy bread prevents a soggy toast base. For time-savers, prep the cherry tomatoes and radishes ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To prevent soggy toast, ensure your bread is well-toasted and assemble just before serving. If avocado is too hard, ripen it faster by placing it in a paper bag with a banana or apple overnight. For a healthier spin, always opt for whole grain bread and go light on the salt if watching sodium intake.
