Guacamole Bruschetta

Ingredients

• ½ loaf French bread 
• 1 clove garlic 
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil 
• 2 tomatoes, medium chopped 
• 2 avocados, medium chopped 
• 1/3 cup finely chopped onion 
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro 
• 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice 
• ½ teaspoon salt 
• ¼ teaspoon pepper

 Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
2. Slice the French bread on the diagonal into ½" rounds and place on a baking sheet.
3. Toast the sliced bread in the oven for 3 minutes, then flip each piece over and toast an additional 3 minutes.
4. Remove the toasted bread from the oven and immediately rub with the clove of garlic (it works best to first cut a small tip off the garlic clove so that the oils will seep out).
5. Brush the tops of the garlic-rubbed toasts with olive oil and set aside.
6. In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix together gently making sure the avocado is well coated in the lime juice.
7. Spoon a portion of the mixture onto each of the garlic toasts and serve.
