Ingredients
1 ripe Hass avocado
1 slice sourdough or whole grain bread
2 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped
2 fresh mint leaves, chopped
2 tsp za’atar spice blend
1/2 lemon, juiced and zested
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch Himalayan salt
Instructions
Scoop the avocado flesh into a small mixing bowl.
Add the za’atar, chopped mint, chopped cilantro, and lemon juice to the bowl.
Mash the ingredients together with a fork until you reach your desired consistency.
Toast the slice of bread until sturdy and golden-brown.
Spread the seasoned avocado mash evenly across the toasted bread.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top.
Garnish with additional chopped cilantro, fresh lemon zest, and a pinch of Himalayan salt.
Notes
Ensure the za’atar mix contains high-quality sumac for the best flavor profile. If you prefer extra texture, you can toast the za’atar lightly in a dry pan for a few seconds before adding it to the mash to release the spice oils.
