First off, I need to give some major props to my buddy Gerry over at Foodness Gracious for thinking of such a gorgeous combination. Avocado and basil? Who woulda thunk? But yes..its is beautiful.

And how gorgeous are these avocados? I have been hoarding them in my fruit bowl until they were finger tender perfect. I thought it would be nice to show off some of Nature's green treats which is so perfect for St. Patrick's Day.

As Gerry says in his post, this is not guacamole! Do we all think that just because we mash an avocado, it automatically turns into guac? This bruschetta has lightly mashed avocado, fresh squeezed lemon juice a touch of garlic for a bite and fresh basil scattered throughout. The lemon and basil really brighten up the avocado and doesn't weigh it down like I find some guac to be.
