    I really like this for a chic appetizer. I think I will try making bread crisps next time (baguette slices rubbed with garlic on both sides, baked for 10 min at 350) and a sprig of cilantro on top :-) - 4/7/14

    So tasty and easy to prepare. I used a two ounce slice of Tuscany bread and counted it as two servings. Easy to adapt recipe for one person. Used half a lemon and a small avocado. Mashed with pastry blender. Saved half of the mixture and diced tomato and onion for next day for another tasty treat!

    Made these for my neighbours to give them a special treat (knocked at their doors and left them so I wasn't able to see if they enjoyed or not haha)
    Made them for my own children who loved them for a snack

    TOO Much sodium for 2 servings, because 1 isn't enough. Bread gets hard very fast, so you have to make it right away. I will pass on this one. - 4/23/18

    This is a great and healthy substitute for butter, and with summer on the way there will be lots of avocados to enjoy. I love the taste of this for breakfast or brunch. It's light and refreshing. - 4/22/18
