Three gourmet avocado toasts that go beyond the basics — Mediterranean with salami and feta, smoked salmon with red onion and lemon, or a caprese-style with tomato, basil, and balsamic glaze. Each one comes together in minutes on your favorite rustic bread.
Slice the cucumber into rounds, cut the avocado into thick slices, cut the salami into half-moons, and slice the olives.
Toast the bread until golden. Arrange the avocado, salami, and cucumber on top, then finish with olives, feta, freshly ground pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast
Thinly slice the red onion and cut the smoked salmon into wide strips.
Toast the bread until golden. Scoop the avocado onto the toast and mash with a fork, then season with salt and pepper.
Arrange the smoked salmon and red onion on top, squeeze over some lemon juice, and finish with feta, more pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Avocado Caprese Toast
Slice the tomato and avocado into similar thickness and wash and pat dry the basil leaves.
Toast the bread until golden. Arrange alternating slices of avocado, tomato, and basil on top.
Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with Parmesan, and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze.

Notes
Use a good rustic bread like ciabatta or campagne — it holds up better under the toppings than sliced sandwich bread. If you don't have balsamic glaze for the caprese version, reduce balsamic vinegar in a small pan or the microwave until thickened.
