How did avocado toast become the subject of magazine articles, a popular feature of Instagram and a selection on cutting-edge restaurant menus?

Avocado is high in nutrients, healthy fats and fiber. Creamy and mild, it’s a perfect canvas. I use it to add healthy richness in place of spreads like cream cheese and mayo. My current favorite toast is layered with smoked salmon, red onion, capers and dill. Nevertheless, beautiful photos have convinced me to have it with eggs, fruit and nuts too.

Perfect when I’m in a hurry, it’s one of the fastest sandwiches I’ve ever made. Try it slathered on toast with salt, mayonnaise or chili pepper flakes and a squeeze of lemon. What could be quicker?
