Avocado toast is one of my FAVORITE foods to eat as a meal or a snack. However, I don't really like it on it's own. It's much better when spiced up with some other ingredients, like fresh veggies, herbs, sauces, and spices. That is why I created this version of the classic avocado toast. My heritage is half Italian, so it seems appropriate to start off my collection with an Italian twist. However, I have many other ideas for more versions that I will be sharing on here at some point!
Lately I have been loving the flavors of a caprese salad (tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and balsamic), so this is obviously my favorite way to dress up an avocado toast! I have made many versions but this one was definitely the best in my opinion. I encourage you to try this simple recipe, but also to come up with your own versions of avocado toast!
