    Hey hey...who loves avocado toast?

    Whoever came up with the simple idea of marrying creamy avocado and a perfectly crunchy piece of toast and making it a "thing" was a GENIUS !

    The flavors..the textures..it just works!

    Today's Avocado Toast + Herbed Ricotta & Fresh Tomatoes is a mash-up of two of my favs. Simple Avocado Toast (avocado, toast, a drizzle of olive oil and salt + pepper) and Fresh Tomato and Herbed Ricotta Bruschetta ( one of SHK's  most pinned recipes on Pinterest)

    The result? It goes like this: crunchy toasted artisan bread, a light drizzle of olive oil, fresh avocado slices (or smashed avocado if you prefer)

    Add a spoonful of herbed ricotta cheese (ricotta mixed with fresh spinach, basil and chives). SO much flavor. Swoon.

    Top the whole thing off with some sliced cherry or heirloom tomatoes. Swoon more.

    Perfect for a light meal option, or snack. Or, use a French baguette and make mini avocado appetizer toasts for your next party.
