About this recipe
Whole grains, vegetables, fruit, and olive oil can form the basis of a simple everyday meal. This toast is a modern home-style recipe rather than a traditional dish from one specific Blue Region. Fresh tomatoes and avocado add color, flavor, and texture to the crisp whole-grain bread.

Kitchen notes
Notes
Use ripe avocados and firm, ripe tomatoes. Toast the bread until crisp enough to support the toppings without becoming too hard.
Tips
Mash the avocado just before serving to keep it fresh. A small amount of lemon juice helps brighten the flavor and slows browning.
Substitutions
Whole-grain sourdough can replace whole-grain bread. Cherry tomatoes can replace a large tomato. Fresh basil or cilantro can replace the parsley.
Serving suggestions
Serve immediately with fresh fruit, a simple green salad, or plain yogurt. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you prefer some heat.
