Brown toast with mayo, mashed avocado with sunnyside up egg and salt & pepper – Yum!
I love rye bread toast with butter or peanut butter, I absolutely love avocados, I’m asking for a recipe for a good avocado to spread on my toast. Please send one or a few avocado spreads to use on my rye bread toast. And maybe a avocado pasta salad. Something good for me as I’m trying to lose . I’m shooting for losing 50 pounds. Thank you so much in advance.
Hi Linda, We love this avocado pasta salad and this avocado dip would make for a great spread on toast. You will have to let us know what you think of them!
This was the best avocado toast I’ve ever had. Added the EVOO and lemon at the end.
