Servings: 6
Calories: 127kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup champagne grapes, washed and dried *
- ⅓ cup avocado cut into a small dice
- ¼ cup white onion, cut into a small dice
- 1 packed tablespoon finely chopped basil leaves (washed and dried first)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt (use half if using table salt)
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 dozen slices of a French baguette, ¼ to ½-inch thick
- 1 large garlic clove
Instructions
- Make the grape mixture. Combine the grapes, avocado, onion, basil, oil, salt and pepper, in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Prepare the toast. Turn on the broiler and place the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Toast them under the broiler until they are golden brown, just a minute or so. Rub each slice of bread with the garlic clove.
- Assemble. Top each slice of toast with a very generous tablespoon of the grape mixture. (The amount might vary depending on the size of the baguette.)
Notes
* To remove the Champagne grapes, very gently pull them away from the stems. You can do several at once. Some may still have a very tiny bit of the stem left, so be sure to check and remove any you see, before using them.
