Avocado Toast with Greens & Balsamic Glaze

AVOCADO TOAST WITH GREENS & BALSAMIC GLAZE—Avocados are simply delicious and nutritious. Avocados are a powerhouse of nutrition— high in fiber, packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and they promote heart and skin health. Research shows they also contribute to lowering one’s risk of colorectal, lung, and bladder cancer. Avocados are also low in sugar and contain healthy fats. I enjoy them in salads, my chunky guacamole, and for breakfast with eggs. Recently, I enjoyed them on avocado toast with greens and balsamic. I loved this dish so much that I decided to recreate it at home.
