    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    You are going to love how quickly you can make this tomato avocado toast with arugula. It's the perfect breakfast, lunch, or snack. Serve it on its own or as a side with eggs or tuna salad.

    This toast is nutritious and satisfying. It's going to be your new go-to breakfast!

    Ingredients

    • Bread: Two slices of whole grain bread.
    • Avocado: One ripe avocado, peeled and pitted. If you're not familiar with the best way to do this, watch this video to learn how to pit and cut an avocado.
    • Arugula: Baby arugula adds a bright and peppery flavor. You can substitute with spinach or your favorite greens.
    • Cherry Tomatoes: You'll want about a handful of cherry tomatoes, quartered. You can use whatever tomatoes you prefer, but I love the sweet flavor of cherry tomatoes.
    • Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling.
    • Lemon Wedges: A couple lemon wedges to squeeze over the toast. This brightens up the arugula and brings out the avocado flavor.
    • Salt: Flaky sea salt to make the flavors pop.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    With just a few simple steps, you'll be enjoying your avocado toast in no time!

    1. Toast the bread until golden.
    2. Add the avocado to a small bowl. Mash with a fork until desired consistency.
    3. Spread the mashed avocado evenly on the toasts. Divide the arugula over the toasts and top with cherry tomatoes. Lightly drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and pinch of flaky sea salt.
    4. Serve immediately and enjoy!

    Variations

    I love this tomato avocado toast as it is, however if you want to customize it, here are some recommendations.

    • For added depth of flavor, use roasted tomatoes.
    • Swap out the arugula for spinach, or your favorite greens.
    • Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the mashed avocado to kick it up a notch.
    • Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free bread.
    • Want some cheese? Top with crumbled goat cheese or feta.
    • Drizzle a little hot sauce or balsamic glaze on top.
    • Make it into crostini for a brunch by toasting baguette slices.
    • Like meat? Add a slice of prosciutto.

    Serving Suggestions

    My favorite way to enjoy tomato avocado toast with arugula is for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, simply as-is. Some other great ways to make it into a meal is to top with an over-easy or fried egg, chicken salad, or tuna salad.

    Avocado toast is best served immediately, since avocado will brown after some time.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

    How do you choose an avocado?

    If you are planning to use an avocado immediately, select one that is ripe. You can tell if an avocado is ripe by gently squeezing it. If it has a slight give to it, then it's ripe. If you don't need it for a few days, you can select one that is more hard and store it on the counter until it's the perfect ripeness.

    What is the best way to mash an avocado?

    The best way to mash an avocado is to remove the flesh from the skin, place in a bowl, and mash with a fork. You can mash to desired consistency, whether you like it smooth or chunky.
