Avocado Chimichurri Bruschetta
Vegetarian Times Issue: September 1, 2008 p.84
Talk about a fusion of world cuisines! Cubes of avocado are folded into chimichurri—an Argentinean sauce made of chopped parsley, cilantro, garlic, vinegar, and oil—to create a Latin variation on bruschetta, a classic Italian starter.
Directions
Combine lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, oregano, and black pepper in small bowl. Whisk in oil, then stir in cilantro and parsley. Fold in avocado cubes. Spoon avocado mixture onto toast slices, and serve.

This is one of my FAVORITE recipes! Everyone loves it!!
We tried it and loved it... made it AGAIN 2 days later... this is by far one of the best recipes I've tried in a while!
One of my favorite combinations! My favorite restaurant serves an avocado chimichurri wrap: grilled tortilla filled with avocados, chimichurri sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and jack cheese. Delicious!
I like the look of this burrito. I am doing a grilled corn, garden tomato, cumin, lime juice, refried beans, grilled orange bell pepper, black pepper& green onion filling in english flour tortillas tonight (with high-test hot sauce for me). Viva la...South-West!
What a delightful combination! Could eat this for days!
Everytime I contribute this to the spread at a party, it is a hit! The flavor combination keeps people coming back. Be prepared for requests for the recipe.
This is Great!
This is an excellent recipe. One of my favorites! Everytime I bring it to a new event, I get so many requests for the recipe that I now have it memorized.
My daughter & I made this today and it is gone! This will be my dish at the Fourth of July party!
Wow, this is delicious! This is a keeper, and will definitely be made again very soon! I think I'd add a little more red pepper, because we like things spicy :)
Made this recipie for an appetizer for people who do not like avocado and they loved it...it is truly a delicious and crowd pleasing dish.
Delicious! Sadly I cut open my avocado and it was all brown so I substituted 2 tomatoes and works perfectly!
This is outstanding, and a must have at all my socials
LOOOOVE this recipe. It was the hit of the party!!!
OMG!!!! I just love this recipe and have shared it with many friends. Add a great bottle of wine and dinner is ready! Love it!
We've been making this often, sometimes more than once per week. Our favorite variation is to forgo the bread and use a bed of spinach to make an amazing salad (we like to call it "KICKIN' CADO SALAD"). Very well done on this recipe VT!!!
