(S)mashed Avocado on Toast
Smashed or mashed? We offered an optional spelling, just in case you think we're gettin' all hipster on you! Whatever you call it, avocado on toast is gorgeous. It doesn't have to be expensive either - there are plenty of bargains in supermarkets and greengrocers. We've also found frozen avocados - see below. And of course, the ready-to-eat variety are handy and found everywhere.
And given that avos can be a bit hit and miss in the UK, here are two more suggestions!
