Avocado, Caper & Pickled-Onion Toast

I just  couldn't wait to post the first recipe, so i decided to share what i had for lunch today. Anyone who knows me, knows that i idolize Martha Stewart, I found this recipe in one of her WholeLiving magazines. Its a really fresh, light meal for a summer afternoon. The proportions are only slightly adapted. Technically this recipe is supposed to serve 2, but i think dividing the avocado mixture between two slices of bread doesn't leave enough on each slice. So i pile it all on one piece of toast.


Ingredients:
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. capers 
1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
2 tsp. lemon zest
1 avocado, pitted
1 slice of whole-grain bread, toasted




1. Combine the onion, lemon juice, capers, oil and 1/4 tsp. salt and pepper in a bowl. Let stand until the onions soften slightly, about 10 minutes.

2. In another bowl, mash the lemon zest and avocado with 1/8 tsp of salt

3. Spread avocado mixture on a slice of toasted bread and top with onion and caper mixture

Enjoy!
