- 1 tsp lemon or lime juice
- 1/4 tsp salt

- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)

Instructions
- Toast the bread slices to your desired crispiness.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.

Notes

- For extra protein, top with eggs, smoked salmon, or chickpeas.
- Rub a garlic clove over the toast before adding avocado for added flavor.
- Best enjoyed fresh — avocado browns quickly once mashed.
