Smashed Avocado Bruschetta is a symphony of creamy textures, vibrant colors, and fresh flavors. Toasted baguette slices, crispy on the outside and soft within, provide the perfect base. A rich, velvety avocado mixture, infused with zesty lemon juice, salt, and pepper, adds depth. A colorful medley of cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fragrant basil adds pops of juicy sweetness. The subtle pungency of garlic and the tangy zip of balsamic glaze complete the harmony. Each bite transports you to a sunny Mediterranean afternoon, surrounded by simplicity and delight.
