I am aware that I am not the first and definitely not the last person to share a recipe for avocado toast – a quick scroll down my Instagram feed will tell me that much. Avocado is now so ubiquitous that it has reportedly overtaken oranges in national fruit sales in fact. However this recipe is so easy, refreshing and scrumptious that I could not help myself from putting it out into the slightly avo-saturated blog o sphere.

You start off with a couple of slices of sourdough toast (you could use any toast but sourdough is my fave), you then slather on a healthy dose of crushed avocado, sprinkle over crab meat dressed in lemon and basil then finish the ensemble off with a few slices of grapefruit. This results in two slices of the prettiest toast you ever will see and makes for the perfect thing to serve at a weekend luncheon. Simple yet impressive.
