Avocado is probably one of the trendiest foods right now – and for all the right reasons. There are few things you can’t really pair avocado with, from sweet to sour to fatty and salty and everything in between.
But some pairings go way better than others. Today, I want to focus on avocado on toast and what extras you can add to make it even more spectacular. Because, don’t get me wrong: plain avocado on toast with a bit of salt sprinkled on it is perfect too!
But if you want more options, I have them below for you. Let’s jump in!
1. Feta Cheese and Cherry Tomatoes: Feta adds a salty tang, complementing the creamy avocado. Cherry tomatoes bring a juicy, sweet burst. It’s ideal for a refreshing summer brunch or as a light lunch option.
2. Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese: The rich flavors of smoked salmon pair wonderfully with avocado. Cream cheese adds smoothness and depth.
Perfect for a luxurious weekend breakfast or a special occasion brunch. Pair it with a freshly made lemonade to counter all that fat content though!
