VISION MISSION
Avocados are high in vision-protecting lutein, muscle-strengthening potassium, and colon-cleansing fiber. They’re also an excellent source of healthy monounsaturated fat, which lowers harmful LDL cholesterol and decreases the risk of heart disease. This avocado toast recipe feels like an indulgence—and it’s good for you!
4 (½-inch-thick) slices whole-grain bread
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium avocados, pitted and mashed
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (black, brown, or mixed)
1 teaspoon finely chopped chives
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1 lemon wedge (optional)
2 edible flowers, such as blue coral flower petals (optional)
Preheat oven to broil.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush bread on both sides with oil. Place bread on the lined baking sheet and broil until one side is toasted, about 5 minutes, then remove from the oven. In a medium bowl, mash together the avocado, vinegar, and salt. Spread the avocado on the toasted side of the bread slices. Garnish with onion, sesame seeds, chives, and chili flakes. Optionally, you can also squeeze a lemon wedge over the toast. If using, add edible flowers before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
TIP The optional edible flowers can be found at farmers markets, grocery stores, and online, or you can grow your own.
