Ingredients You`ll Need
- Ripe avocado: This is the holy grail. It’s not easy to find the perfect avocado. Avocados are famous for being as hard as rocks one minute and overly ripen and brown the next. I find that buying nearly ripe avocados works best. I keep them on the kitchen counter for a day or two and then put them straight in the fridge when they are soft to the touch.
- Wholegrain seeded bread: I used crusty multigrain bread, but you can use whatever you like (including gluten-free bread).
- Lime juice (or lemon juice): This keeps the avocado from browning and gives it some much-needed acidity to contrast with its creaminess.
- Tomatoes: I love adding tomatoes to my avocado toast. With their sweet-tart flavor, they work incredibly well with avocado.
- Strawberries are a delicious and healthy choice, with their incomparable aroma!
- Basil is a true miracle food that offers many health benefits and adds a delicious touch to your dishes.
- Onion and Garlic are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help to strengthen our health.
- Sea salt and black pepper

How To Store Smashed Avocado Bruschetta With Strawberries
If you’re one of those people who love smashed avocado on toast, you know that half the battle is finding a ripe avocado. The other half is dealing with the fact that they only stay ripe for a few days. Once you’ve smashed your avocado, you need to know how to store it so it doesn’t go bad.
The best way to store smashed avocado is in an airtight container in the fridge. This will help keep it from browning too quickly. If you’re not going to eat it all right away, you can also freeze it for up to two months. Just be sure to thaw it overnight in the fridge before using it again.
