Ingredients
1 to 2 ripe Fresh California Avocados, seeded and peeled 1/2 lb. Roma tomatoes, sliced lengthwise and diced 1/4 cup diced red onion 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil leaves, plus additional for garnish 1 to 2 medium cloves garlic, minced As needed Freshly ground pepper and salt, to taste 1 sourdough baguette (about 10 oz.), diagonally cut into 1/2-inch slices and lightly toastedInstructions
- Thinly slice half of the avocados, then cut the slices in half crosswise. Reserve.
- Dice the remaining avocado.
- In medium bowl, lightly combine the diced avocado, tomatoes, onion, olive oil, basil, garlic, pepper and salt.
- Top each slice of toasted bread with 2 or 3 of the reserved avocado slices. Top with about 1 heaping Tbsp. of the tomato-avocado mixture.
- Garnish each with small leaf of basil, if desired.
Serving Suggestions:
By placing the sliced avocado on the toasted bread first the tomato-avocado mixture stays on the bread better and is deliciously moist. If you prefer a drier bruschetta omit half the avocado.
Also try the tomato-avocado mixture over pasta, rice, grilled chicken or beef.
Beverage Pairings:
Try with a glass of Merlot.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
