Avocado Toast: My Way

Leave it to Instagram to take a good thing and make it ultra trendy {i.e peonies, macarons, and anything Starbucks!}.  I LOVE avocados and could honestly eat them all day long.  I've been making avocado toast for years + years and while it is a little saddening to see it suddenly all over the internet, I can deal with it because it's seriously one of my favorite things ever.

This is my favorite way to make avocado toast; simple ingredients with great flavor.

Ingredients

1 large, ripe avocado
1/2 lemon
Sea salt
Crushed red pepper flakes
Bread of your choice {I love Alvarado St. Bakery 'Sprouted Multi-Grain Bread' from Whole Foods in the frozen section}


Directions

Cut avocado in half and remove the pit.  Scoop the avocado out of the skin, and place in a small bowl.  

Squeeze the lemon juice on top of the avocado and mash together with a fork {I like to leave mine a bit lumpy}.

Sprinkle in fresh ground sea salt, and red pepper flakes to suit your taste.

Spread on top of toast, top with one last sprinkle of salt and enjoy!
