Fresh Vegetables and Avocado
I just love fresh vegetables and I am not a huge carb fan.
I always make an this for a summer special treat for my guests or quick lunch.
Whenever we have a family get together, I love making this bruschetta.
Leave The Bread Out for dietiers!
You can use cucumbers slices, zucchini strips or even some lettuce leaves and roll this dip up for the perfect diet food!
I actually leave the bread in a big bowl and let them spread it themselves.
This spread is great right out the refrigerator or at room temperature.
I have even packed it just in a container and used cucumber slices for the dipping instead of the bread as I mentioned before for picnics and boat outings.
This avocado insalata bruschetta is like having a great little salad on your garlic toast.
You can even used sliced of zucchini instead of bread or even long slices of cucumber instead of making slices for dipping. Whatever you choose to do and how your healthy lifestyle diet is prefered, try this as a wholesome snack.
Healthy For You
Avocado has so many health benefits.
There are many articles written on how great it is for skin, bones, heart and can even ward off cancer.
It's even great for digestion.
There are so many healthy reasons to eat it.
Avocado Daily For Me
I love growing my own trees here in Florida. We have an abundance of avocado here so this is something I am lucky to make all year long.
I personally eat at least one avocado every other day.
I love them on top of a regular leafy green salad.
Anyway I can get avocado into my diet, I will make sure I eat it weekly.

Check out the photos and how to cut Avocado plus a Bonus GUACAMOLE DIP Recipe at the end!
As you can see I have provided many photos on how to cut up an avocado. They are easy to slice, chop or pit and best and easiest part is taking the knife and on a ripe avocado.
Taking the tip of that knife and just folding back the skin the whole avocado will peel back! It's so easy.
There are always ingredients in every recipe you can change up. If you aren't a fan of olives try another chopped item like fresh green hot peppers to give it a little kick.

Keep this recipe on hand, through the entire summer you can shed pounds as it is low calories and the good fat in avocado will help get rid of unwanted weight.
Healthy eating never tasted so good. Easy to make.
Many options to change it up the way your family will eat it.
The Perfect Summer Food
I love easy healthy recipes, don't you? No one even knew that was the main ingredient in this spread.
Don't forget to check out my GUACAMOLE DIP at the end.
Avocado Bruschetta and Guacamole Dip is delightful on top of cucumbers and no bread too!
No Matter Which Way You Slice it!
Just remember no matter which way you slice it, or eat it, as soon as the air hits avocado it starts to turn off color brown.
I immediately squirt some lime juice on top, fresh is best.
I really dislike serving something that looks unappealing to the eye.
This little bit of lime juice on your avocado will keep you Avocado Bruschetta and Guacamole Dip looking fresh!
