Notes
Choose avocados that yield slightly to pressure but aren't mushy for the best texture
Add sliced hard-boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, or smoked salmon for extra protein and flavor
Substitute lime juice for lemon juice for a different citrus twist
Make ahead by preparing the avocado mixture up to 2 hours in advance, covering tightly with plastic wrap
For extra richness, use thick-cut artisanal sourdough bread
Store leftover avocado with the pit in the refrigerator to prevent browning
Add everything bagel seasoning for an instant flavor boost
