Toasted Bread with Avocado, Cherry Tomatoes, and Mint

Makes 4 servings | 20 minutes

Because this recipe is so simple, using excellent ingredients is essential.

Choose ripe avocados, tasty ripe cherry tomatoes, and top-quality extra virgin olive oil. Serve with toasted rustic bread, and let guests add extra olive oil and salt and pepper to their taste.

Ingredients

- 2 large ripe avocados

- 1 dozen (12x) ripe cherry tomatoes

- 2 tablespoons Entimio Cortese organic extra virgin olive oil, plus more to taste

- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about one lemon)

- 8 small bunches of fresh mint leaves

- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Step 1 - Avocados
Halve avocados lengthwise. Twist halves to separate them and remove pits. Remove pulp from the skin using a large spoon between the pulp and skin, scooping out the pulp in one piece; discard skins. Slice the avocado pulp into thin wedges, place it on a plate, and drizzle with lemon juice. Put aside.

Step 2 - Cherry Tomatoes
Halve cherry tomatoes vertically and cut each half into thin slices. Place them on a plate. Drizzle with one tablespoon of Entimio Cortese organic extra virgin olive oil, and add salt and pepper to taste. Put aside.

Step 3 - Bread Toasting
Preheat the oven or grill to 425F. Toast bread in preheated oven on a baking sheet or directly on your grill until lightly browned, about 1 minute on each side.

Step 4 - Putting it All Together
Drizzle remaining Entimio Cortese organic extra virgin olive oil over the toasted bread while the bread is still warm. Top bread halves with tomato slices to create a uniform layer. Then, add the avocado slices and mint leaves over the tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste and an extra drizzle of Entimio Cortese organic extra virgin olive oil for an anti-oxidative health boost.
