marinated tomato basil avocado toast
Ah, the nostalgia of long runs when I was a wee newbie runner.
Ingredients
- 1 demi-baguette, sliced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 avocados, sliced
- fresh basil and additional salt and pepper, to top
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the tomatoes with the olive oil, balsamic, basil, oregano, mint, chili powder, and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the grill or grill pan to high heat. Brush the cut side of the baguette slabs with olive oil. Place cut-side down onto the grates and grill for 1-2 minutes until charred to your liking. If desired, grill the other side for another 1-2 minutes. I don't usually do this, but you can if you'd like!
- Arrange the avocado slices on the baguettes (or mash them). Drizzle with the marinated tomatoes and any of the marinade in the bowl. Finish with fresh basil, cracked black pepper, and flaky salt, as desired.
