SIMPLE TOMATO & AVOCADO CROSTINI



Simple Tomato & Avocado Crostini image

This is a very simple and light tomato/avocado crostini. I like to think of it as a cross between a bruschetta and a salsa topped toast.

Provided by Melanie B.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup plum tomato, seeded and diced
1/2 cup avocado, pitted and diced
2 tablespoons cilantro, fresh chopped
1/2 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove
salt
pepper
1 baguette, sliced and toasted

Steps:

  • Rub garlic clove on each slice of hot baguette. This will add a perfect light garlic essence without being "in your face" or oily. This technique is actually one of my favorites to use with crostinis or toasted sandwiches.
  • Mix together tomato, avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Scoop spoonfuls of the tomato/avocado mixture onto the garlic rubbed crostinis.
  • Serve and enjoy!
