Ingredients
4 baguette slices
2 ripe avocados
1/2 cup fresh pomegranate arils
1 small shallot, finely minced
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lime, juiced
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 375°F.
Brush baguette slices lightly with olive oil and toast for 10 minutes until golden and crisp.
In a small bowl, combine pomegranate arils, minced shallot, diced jalapeño, chopped parsley, and lime juice. Stir well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mash the avocado with a pinch of salt and black pepper until smooth but slightly chunky.
Spread the mashed avocado generously over each toasted baguette slice.
Top the avocado-laden toast with a spoonful of the pomegranate salsa mixture.
Serve immediately while the toast is warm and crispy.
Notes
Ensure your avocados are perfectly ripe by checking that they yield slightly to firm pressure. You can adjust the heat by adding more or less jalapeño depending on your tolerance. If serving for a crowd, you can prep the salsa up to an hour in advance, but keep it chilled until just before assembly.
