Tips

- Kale Prep: When chopping kale, ensure you remove the tough stems and focus on finely chopping the leaves for a smoother guacamole.
- Mash with Care: For a perfect guacamole consistency, mash the avocados until slightly chunky. This adds a delightful texture to your toast.
- Fresh Lemon Juice: Always use fresh lemon juice to not only prevent browning but also to enhance the overall flavor of the guacamole.
- Toast to Perfection: Toast your bread until golden brown and crispy for the best contrast against the creamy guacamole.
- Drizzle with Style: When drizzling balsamic vinegar, use a zigzag pattern for a beautiful presentation that enhances the dish's visual appeal.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your avocado toast right away while the bread is warm and the guacamole is fresh for the best experience.
