Easy Healthy Avocado Bruschetta
Full of fibre and protein, my easy healthy avocado bruschetta is a delicious way to use up stale bread, and makes for a great breakfast, lunch, or supper. If you have time to make toast, you have time to make this; it's super-quick, and you can prepare the toppings while the toast is cooking.

Ingredients
- 2 slices thick bread slightly stale
- 1 large tomato
- 1 small red onion
- ground black pepper
- Sea salt
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 fat clove garlic
Instructions
- Toast the bread on both sides - either in a toaster or under the grill (toaster oven) - until it's a medium-dark brown. If it's too lightly-toasted, it won't hold up beneath the toppings.
- While the bread is toasting, finely chop the tomato and onion, and place into a bowl with 1 teaspoon olive oil, a few grinds of black pepper, and a smidge of sea salt. Mix together so everything has a light coating.
- Open up the avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh into a bowl, and gently mash it with a fork.
- Once the toast has cooked, rub the clove of garlic over each slice. If you have any left over, mince it up, and sprinkle over the toast.
- Spread half of the avocado over one slice of toast, followed by half of the tomato and onion mixture.
- Repeat for the second slice.
- Finish by grinding some more black pepper over the top.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- I use my Tri-Blade Spiralizer for onions - it's really quick and easy, and results in far fewer tears!
- When calculating the nutritional data, I have assumed that a slice of bread is white, around 65g (c.2ΒΌ oz), and is about 2.5cm (1") thick.
