We Australians love to abbreviate everything. In case you’re wondering ‘avo’ is actually avocado. While there aren’t many things I miss being Low Carb, ‘Avo on Toast’ was one of them. So happy to have found a Low Carb bread that means I can enjoy my avocado AND keep my blood sugar happy. Of course you’re welcome to use whatever bread you prefer.
You don’t really need a recipe for this idea but the contrast of the salty piquant olives with the creamy avo and tahini really takes this to the next level!
Avo on Toast with Smashed Olives & Tahini
Ingredients
- 1 slice broccoli bread or sourdough
- 1 small avocado or 1/2 large
- squeeze lime
- 4-5 kalamata olives smashed
- 2 tablespoons tahini
Instructions
- Toast your bread.
- Halve avocado and scoop flesh onto the toast. Smash roughly with a fork to cover the surface. Sprinkle generously with black pepper and some sea salt flakes (remembering your olives will add salt too).
- Squeeze over lime. Smash olives with the side of your knife and remove stones. Scatter smashed olives over the avo and drizzle over tahini.
Variations
more simple – just use avocado and lime with lashings of black pepper.
no tahini – just skip it or try sprinkling with dukkah, roast pine nuts or sesame seeds instead.
carb-lovers – use your favourite bread. True carb lovers might like to spread their toppings over 2 slices!
another fave avo on toast topping – sprinkle with Shicimi Togarashi.
no avo – replace with regular hummus or my Low Carb Roast Cauliflower Hummus and skip the tahini.
Waste Avoidance Strategy
broccoli bread or sourdough – freeze it.
avocado – use for another meal. Doesn’t freeze well.
lime – will keep in a plastic bag in the fridge for months.
kalamata olives / tahini – keep them in the pantry.
Prepare Ahead
No. Best when freshly made.
