Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 2 thick slices seeded bread, toasted
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes (red and yellow), whole or halved
- ⅓ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries (or dried cherries)
- 2 tablespoons walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or other soft herbs, chopped
Optional Add-Ons:
- Extra feta and herbs
- Fresh fruit served on the side
Instructions
1. Toast the Bread
Toast the seeded bread until golden and crisp. For a slightly smoky flavor and grill marks, toast it in a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.
2. Prepare the Avocado
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until creamy but slightly textured.
3. Assemble the Toast
Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado onto each slice of toast.
4. Add the Toppings
Top with cherry tomatoes, then sprinkle evenly with crumbled feta, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts.
5. Finish & Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley and drizzle lightly with olive oil if desired. Serve immediately while the toast is still crisp.
Pro Tip
Keep the walnuts roughly chopped rather than finely diced — larger pieces give you a satisfying crunch in every bite.
Fresh, colorful, and beautifully balanced — this avocado toast is simple yet full of flavor.
