Guacamole Bruschetta
Crisp garlic toasts topped with avocado, tomato, lime and cilantro make a bright, easy appetizer with plenty of crunch.

Ingredients
- 1/2 loaf French bread
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tomatoes, medium chopped
- 2 avocados, medium chopped
- 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions
- Heat your oven to 400°F. Cut the French bread at an angle into ½" slices, then arrange them on a baking sheet. Let the bread toast for 3 minutes, turn the slices, and give the other sides 3 minutes as well.
- Take the toasts out of the oven, and while they are still hot, rub them with the garlic clove; if you trim a little off the end first, the garlic oils come out more easily. Brush olive oil over the garlic-rubbed tops, then leave them nearby.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper to a large bowl. Fold everything together gently, making sure the avocado gets coated with the lime juice.
- Pile some of the avocado mixture onto each garlic toast and serve.
