smoked salmon bruschetta with smashed avocado and feta
A light but luxurious lunch of thin and crispy Italian bread topped with smashed together avocado and feta cheese and smoked salmon. Perfect with a glass of chilled white wine or champagne!
Servings: 2 (to 4)
Ingredients
- 1 avocado ripe
- ¼ cup feta cheese
- 1 lemon
- black pepper to taste
- 4 slices bread any flat(ish) Italian style e.g. ciabatta, focaccia, Turkish bread, bruschettini, even French style baguette
- 2.5 ounces smoked salmon (thin slices)
- a few fresh salad leaves I use a mix of fresh green leaves, but any are fine.
Instructions
- Cut 2 thin rounds off one half of the lemon. Cut each in half and set aside.
- In a medium dish, mash up the avocado. Then crumble in the feta and grind in some freshly ground black pepper. Stir in a few squeezes of lemon juice, or add more or less to taste.
- Toast your bread in a toaster. Then top with the avocado-feta mixture and a slice of salmon (fold it a little if necessary).
- Top each bruschetta with a few salad leaves. Twist each of the lemon slices slightly and add those to the top as well. Serve immediately.

Notes
What kind of bread to use: Any kind of fresh and flat(ish) Italian or French bread works.
You can easily replace the salmon with prosciutto or crispy bacon.
Note that the avocado feta mixture doesn't keep well so just make as much as you need to eat immediately.
