Green Goddess Avocado Toast Ingredients:

You can get the full list of ingredients with measurements in the recipe card below.

• Sliced artisan bread – You want a harder bread that will hold up to all the toppings, plus it feels more fancy on this bread rather than plain white bread.
• Avocados – Ripe avocados are necessary for the avocado mash. We use Hass avocados, but you can use whatever you prefer.
• Lemon – Lemon juice adds a brightness to the flavor of the avocado mash, but also preserves the green color and prevents the avocado from oxidizing. We use a fresh lemon, but you could substitute bottled lemon juice.
• Seasoning – Salt enhances the flavor of all the ingredients and garlic powder adds flavor to the avocado mash.
• Cherry tomatoes – These can easily be cut into small slices to lay across the avocado toast. If you can’t find cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes will work.
• Arugula – The spice of bitter arugula balances the sweetness of the tomatoes.
• Feta cheese – A crumble of feta cheese adds a little bit of salt and an extra creaminess to the toast.
• Green goddess dressing – Without green goddess dressing, you can’t call this green goddess toast. But, you can substitute any herb-forward dressing if you can’t find green goddess.

How To Make Green Goddess Avocado Toast:

Start by toasting your bread.

We just put it in the toaster while we’re making the rest of the ingredients.

Now to make your avocado mash.

Scoop the inside of the avocado into a medium size bowl.

Squeeze in the juice from one lemon.

I say this every time I talk about adding citrus into a recipe, but here’s Pete’s hack. Take the lemon and microwave it for 15 seconds. Then, aggressively roll it on the countertop. This will break up the pulp inside and will result in more lemon juice than if you try to squeeze a cold lemon.

Add in the seasoning.

Mash until combined.

It’s much easier to mash using a potato masher if you have one. When I’m making guacamole, I usually mash with a fork because I want it to be chunkier, but when I’m making avocado mash for avocado toast, you want it smooth. And the best way to get that way is with a masher.

Spread the mashed avocado on top of the toast.

Cut the cherry tomatoes into four or five slices each.

Put the tomato on top of the mashed avocado.

I am very meticulous with how I place the tomato slices on top of the avocado to ensure that each bite has some tomato in it. You don’t have to do this.

And a small handful of arugula on top of each slice.

You want to spread the arugula across the entirety of the bread. Just like the tomatoes, you want to assure that there is arugula in every bite.

Sprinkle the feta cheese on top.

If you don’t have feta cheese, cotija cheese or queso fresco works. You don’t want to skip the cheese because you want the creamy texture to mix with the other ingredients.

Drizzle some green goddess dressing on top.

Continue until you’re done with all of the ingredients.
