Notes
- Prepare the avocado and toast separately if storing; keep toast at room temperature up to 3 days and avocado covered with lemon juice in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
- Test avocado ripeness by gentle pressure or easy removal of the top stem.
- Any bread type can be used, but slices should be thick to support the avocado.
