Avocado Toast With Cucumber
If you love the fresh flavors of cucumbers, this avocado toast with cucumber may just be your new favorite breakfast.
I’m constantly looking for new ways to enjoy my morning avocado toast. I love the stuff, and pretty much anything you put on it is going to be really tasty. But what I love about this particular recipe is how fresh the flavors are, thanks to the raw veggies.
What Is The Best Bread For Avocado Toast?
In my personal experience, the best bread is always whole-grain bread. Why? Because the flavors of it pair so well with the avocado. It makes the whole thing a more “rustic” experience and gives it some actual chew and heartiness. But at the end of the day, the best bread is the one you will eat. Use what you enjoy most.
What Goes Well With Avocado Toast?
If you want to round out the meal, particularly at breakfast, you can enjoy this with a side of eggs and a cup of tea or coffee. As a snack or other meal, you can pair it with a green salad.
Recipe Additions
Want to add more flavor? Try one of these:
- Garlic – Either garlic powder or minced garlic.

- Bacon – You can add any meat to this you prefer.
- Swiss cheese, American cheese, or even Cheddar cheese will work here.
