Guacamole Bruschetta
1 loaf French bread - bread without egg products for vegan...
1 clove garlic
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 tomatoes, medium chopped
2 avocados, medium chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped onion (I hate onions so I didn't add this!)
¼ cup chopped cilantro (or culantro since cilantro is not in season!)
2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Slice the French bread on the diagonal into ½" rounds and place on a baking sheet. Toast the sliced bread in the oven for 3 minutes, then flip each piece over and toast an additional 3 minutes. Remove the toasted bread from the oven and immediately rub with the clove of garlic (it works best to first cut a small tip off the garlic clove so that the oils will seep out). Brush the tops of the garlic-rubbed toasts with olive oil and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix together gently making sure the avocado is well coated in the lime juice. Spoon a portion of the mixture onto each of the garlic toasts and serve.
