Creamy avocado and calamata olive crostini is an ideal appetiser to serve to your guest. We all know the health benefit of avocado which is a great antioxidant and good for your hair and skin. I made it simple without adding too much of additional flavor just to retain the original flavor of the avocado. With simple seasoning of salt and pepper with drizzling of olive oil, you can have an absolutely creamy and delicious crostini.
This crostini are easy to make with ingredients we have in our everyday kitchen . I bought few avocados in the hypermarket, having to make this crostini in mind. Avocado tend to change colour once cut open to avoid them from browning, drizzle them with little lemon juice. I follow just one tip in buying avocados, if the avocado are firm to touch its good to purchase them. Made this healthy and flavorful crostini for breakfast by simply spread them on my toasted baguette slices and enjoyed the fresh flavor of avocado and calamata olive....it feels like Italy in every bite.
