Ingredients
- ½ loaves Whole Grain French Bread
- Olive Oil Cooking Spray
- 2 cloves Garlic, Divided
- 2 Avocados, Smashed
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
- ¼ teaspoons Sea Salt, Plus Extra To Sprinkle On Bread
- ¼ teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 4 Roma Tomatoes, Diced
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar

Preparation
Preheat oven on broiler setting.
Place slices of bread on baking sheet, spray with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with sea salt. Broil slices in oven about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from oven and rub with 1 clove of garlic (make sure to cut it in half before rubbing).
In a medium bowl, mix smashed avocado, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt and ground pepper.
In a separate large bowl, combine tomatoes, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Mince the remaining garlic clove and add it into tomato mixture.
Evenly spread smashed avocado mixture onto each slice of toast, then generously spoon tomato topping on top. Garnish with basil and serve immediately.
