RECIPE: Current Favourite Avocado Toast

Not strictly a recipe, but hey if Nigella can get away with it....

Isn't avocado toast just life? No? Well clearly you've never indulged in this most delicious (and conveniently vegan) delight or you're living in Clapham and can't stand the sight of ANOTHER AVOCADO TOAST! Either way, I feel for you, but this one is different! It's my current favourite weekend breakfast for when I have a little time and packs in so many nutrients for the first meal of the day without even a hint of green juice. The side salad really makes this dish come to life so please do eat the two together. Enjoy x 
Ingredients - Serves 1
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 slices of rye or sourdough bread, toasted (duh)
  • a handful of mixed seeds
  • a handful of rocket
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp of white balsamic vinegar (use black balsamic vinegar if you don't have white)
  • plenty of salt and pepper
Method
Oh god do I really need to write a method? Mash up the avocado in a bowl then spread onto your two slices of toasted bread. I love rye but sourdough really does crisp up more so take your pick. Sprinkle with the mixed seeds.
For the side salad, arrange your rocket on the side of your plate then drizzle with the apple cider vinegar and balsamic vinegar. Season both the toast and salad generously and enjoy! 
Note: I have found if you leave the leaves (haha) for about 1-2 minutes before eating the vinegar can help to balance out the rocket's natural pepperiness. If the strong peppery flavour isn't for you, this is a great way to enjoy this nutritious leaf without scrunching up your face.
