Avocado toast makes such a light refreshing meal in the summertime—one that you can have for breakfast, lunch or even dinner. While smashed avocado on bread is great on its own, there are plenty of ways to jazz it up: you can serve it vegan, vegetarian or even add some seafood into the mix.

Here are three recipes to up your avo toast game…

 

1. Mushroom, Feta, Avocado Toast

INGREDIENTS

  • Half a large avocado
  • A handful of mushrooms (whichever are in season or whichever you prefer)
  • 1 tsp olive oil or coconut oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 slice of multigrain bread
  • Lemon juice
  • Feta (optional, vegan if you have it or want to make it)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Chop mushrooms and sauté in olive oil on medium heat until tender.
  2. Toast the bread.
  3. Meanwhile, smash the avocado in a small bowl, seasoning with a splash of lemon juice. Spread onto toast.
  4. Layer the mushrooms on top, sprinkle with feta, and salt and pepper. You can also add chili flakes or hot sauce if you like it spicy.
