Lo Snack Recipe

Toast bread

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brush both sides of the bread slices lightly with the olive oil or butter (1 tsp). Place the bread in the skillet and toast 1–2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Alternatively, use a toaster and toast to desired doneness.

Prepare avocado

Halve the avocado, remove the pit and scoop flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice (1 tbs) immediately to prevent browning. Mash with a fork to a chunky spread. Season with 1/2 tsp black pepper and 1/2 tsp of the salt (reserve remaining salt to taste). Stir in the chopped cilantro or parsley (1 tbs) and the hot sauce (1 tsp) if using.

Prep vegetables

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half (6 each). Thinly slice the radishes (2 each). Toss the tomatoes and radish slices lightly with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and the 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil to bring out their flavor. Set aside for 1–2 minutes to macerate slightly.

Assemble toast

Spread the mashed avocado evenly across the two toasted bread slices. Top each slice with the tossed cherry tomatoes and radish slices, distributing them evenly.

Finish and serve

Crumble the feta cheese (30 g) over the topped toasts. Drizzle a scant 1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil if desired and sprinkle the remaining salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with any extra chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately while the toast is crisp.
