Chimichurri Avocado Toast | Dolly and Oatmeal

i'm popping in here real quick with this avocado toast "recipe". it's not so much a recipe than it is a couple of favorite ingredients mixed together to make one epic piece of toast! if you're not familiar with chimichurri sauce, it's a herb-based, green sauce that's traditionally used for grilled meats and fish. but it's also great in vegetarian dishes as well: used as a salad dressing, tossed into lentils or beans, or mixed into a pasta salad. but, i love it on avocado toast! and i think you will too!

it provides it a great garlicky flavor, and a bit of an acidic bite from the vinegar. there's also a faint spice from crushed red pepper flakes. and all together with creamy, smashed avocado just takes your traditional avocado toast up a significant notch. sometimes i eat the toasts as is, with an egg on top, or served on the side. it's a great "breakfast for dinner" recipe on a night where you need to take a break. all in all, a super easy, but revitalized take on a classic 😉i hope you all enjoy it as much i do!

xo!!
