Recipe by The View From the Great Island

Guacamole Bruschetta Bar ~ admit it, you've always wanted to eat avocado toast for dinner, and this meal is healthy and lots of fun!

Ingredients

• 2 packages of WHOLLY GUACAMOLE guaca
• 1 large baguette, or ciabatta bread
• several cloves of garlic, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
• toppings, approximately 1/2 cup each
• small salami slices or other cold cuts
• grilled shrimp
• roasted corn kernels
• cherry tomatoes (halved)
• sliced mushrooms, sauteed in olive oil
• diced mango, tossed with a little chili powder and lime juice (substitute pineapple)
• berries
• sliced olives
• diced red onions
• pickled onions
• thinly sliced radish
• thinly sliced cucumber
• mini mozzarella balls
• crumbled cotija cheese (or feta)
• thinly sliced jalapenos
• basil leaves
• cilantro leaves
• lime wedges

Method

1. Slice your bread into 1/2 inch slices. Brush lightly with oil on both sides, and grill until crisp. You can do this on a charcoal grill, or in a stove top grill pan. Rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic. Set aside.
2. Put each of your toppings in a small bowl or plate. When you're ready to serve, arrange the bread in a basket, transfer your guacamole to a pretty bowl, and arrange all your toppings around it. I like to put out my pepper grinder and some red pepper flakes.
