Avocado Mash Toasts with Sprouts are great as an easy vegetarian lunch or snack.
Avocado mash toasts are all the rage in the food hub of New York.
I don't remember the first time I had one. But we made them for breakfast or lunch all the time in the test kitchen. We would use whatever grainy delicious bread that was left over, and that perfectly ripe avocado sitting on the counter. It's easy to top it with anything you find in the fridge, (a dash of original Cholula hot sauce is always my favorite).
This recipe is for a simple sweet and tangy slaw to go on top, and it's divine.

My mom used to always put sprouts on our sandwiches, so this avocado toast with sprouts was a must try! I love the fresh earthy flavor of the sprouts mixed with the avocado. Such a great and healthy way to start off the day, or the perfect afternoon snack!
