Instructions

For the crostini:

Use an indoor grill (the Panini style ones are perfect) to grill or toast the bread. You can also use an outdoor grill, griddle pan or a frying pan (very lightly greased with butter or olive oil).
Rub the grilled or toasted bread slices with the garlic clove, this is optional – but highly recommended if you’re a garlic lover.
Save the crostini bread slices until ready to use.

For the avocado bruschetta:

Sprinkle the onion slices with salt and rinse well with cold water.
Combine the avocado, onion, hot peppers, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and salt in a bowl and mix well, chill until ready to use.
Place a generous amount of the avocado bruschetta salsa on top of each piece of crostini or toast. Serve and enjoy!
