ingredients
- 1 cup plum tomato, seeded and diced
- 1⁄2 cup avocado, pitted and diced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, fresh chopped
- 1⁄2 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- salt
- pepper
- 1 baguette, sliced and toasted
directions
- Rub garlic clove on each slice of hot baguette. This will add a perfect light garlic essence without being "in your face" or oily. This technique is actually one of my favorites to use with crostinis or toasted sandwiches.
- Mix together tomato, avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Scoop spoonfuls of the tomato/avocado mixture onto the garlic rubbed crostinis.
- Serve and enjoy!

<p>I am a pretty good home cook and a Food Network junkie. Every time I host an event or create a new dish, my confidence grows....I'm always testing new ideas and sometimes (I'm a nerd) that dreams in food.</p>
<p>I was proud to have one of my recipes chosen as RecipeZaar's Recipe of the Day on 11/27/09 with my Turkey, Cranberry, & Pesto Sandwich. I also had the opportunity to cook at the Aetna Healthy Food Fight competition in Los Angeles last summer - talk about pressure!</p>
