Caprese Avocado Toast

Ingredients

•  2 ripe avocados
•  2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
•  Sea salt and black pepper to taste
•  4 slices bread toasted
•  4 ounces fresh mozzarella sliced and cut into pieces, to fit the bread
•  1 cup grape tomatoes halved
•  1/4 cup basil leaves roughly chopped
•  Balsamic Glaze for drizzling

Instructions

1. Cut the avocados in half, remove pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper, to taste. With a fork, mash the ingredients together, keeping the texture slightly chunky.
2. Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto toasted bread slices. Top with fresh mozzarella slices, tomatoes, and basil. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve immediately.
3. Note-I like to use whole grain bread. If you need the recipe to be gluten-free, use gluten-free bread. If you don’t have grape tomatoes, tomato slices will work too!
