Method
1. Toast the Bread
Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp on the edges but still tender in the center. A good toast provides structure for the avocado and prevents sogginess.
2. Prepare the Avocado Spread
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash gently with a fork, keeping some texture. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Drizzle in olive oil and mix lightly.
3. Assemble the Avocado Toast
Spread the avocado generously over the toasted bread. Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of chili flakes if desired, and a sprinkle of mixed seeds for texture.
4. Season the White Beans
Place the cooked white beans in a bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently until evenly coated. Finish with chopped parsley for freshness.
5. Prepare the Greens
Rinse and dry the greens thoroughly. Arrange them loosely on one side of a large plate to create a fresh base.
6. Add Vegetables
Scatter cherry tomatoes and red onion slices over the greens. Keep the arrangement natural and colorful for visual balance.
7. Plate the Dish
Place the avocado toast on one side of the plate. Spoon the seasoned white beans beside it, partially over the greens. Adjust placement so each element remains distinct yet connected.
8. Final Touches
Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil over the greens. Add a pinch of black pepper or chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
