Avocado Toast

Ok, so we are jumping on the avocado toast bandwagon here at ecoRDN! Why? Because it’s delicious, filling (from all that good fat), gorgeous (just look at all the IG posts!) and amazing (amazingly simple and nutritious that is)!

The history of avocado toast is unclear but possibly stems from Australia where it made menu appearances back in the 90’s. The Aussies love putting things on toast, you know?

In 1999 British chef, Nigel Slater may have been the first actual documented recipe creator.   However is a “recipe” really needed? Its avocado smashed or sliced on toast for f’s sake!

And then there was the grand endorsement by Gwyneth Paltrow in her 2013 cookbook, where she included 3 avocado toast recipes, and the rest was just a crazy blur.

So whether you are still smitten or over the avo trend, oh well, whatevs! Here is our take…
