Radish + Avocado Toast

March 30th, 2011 by justJENN

Spring is here! That means my weekly (sometimes twice) Farmer’s Market trips are back! While our markets in L.A. are year round, no one likes slogging through the rain with the kids to get produce.

When we go we talk about what’s in season, what we think things taste like, just a whole lot of meal planning for that week. While the kids picked out their choices I went about my biz trying to figure out my lunch for the week.

The idea of an avocado toast is always a winner because it’s quick and simple. Luckily there were some lovely Bacon Avocados at the market. Sadly, they don’t taste like bacon – they are named after a man named Bacon. BOO. But I like Bacon avocados because they are little creamier than Hass, which are the ones I use for guacamole.

I picked up some fresh radishes too. I chose veggies by color this week – pink and green, almost too pretty to eat.

ingredients:
1 medium radish
1/2 Bacon avocado
1 slice sourdough bread, toasted
butter
green tea sea salt

Slice the radish into thin – almost see through – pieces. Place them on top of the buttered sourdough toast.

Scoop out the avocado and spread on top of the radish.

I happened to find some very cool Green Tea Sea Salt when I went to the Spice Station, and it was the perfect compliment sprinkled on top of the avocado. Kosher salt works just as well too.

This is a nice, crisp, pretty lunch. Bring it on Spring!
