TIPS
- Choose Ripe Avocado: The avocado should give slightly when gently squeezed—too firm or overly soft will affect the texture.

- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of chilli flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce for a bolder bite.
- Herb Infusion: Sprinkle with chopped parsley, coriander or chives to enhance freshness.
- Seed Sprinkle: Add sesame or sunflower seeds for texture and extra nutrients.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free whole-grain bread if needed for dietary restrictions.
