Avocado toast with mayo, feta and fresh veggies

Layers of creamy avocado mayo, crisp vegetables, and salty feta on toasted seed bread make for an easy weekday breakfast option.

This easy breakfast starts with a quick-to-make avo mayo. Instead of smashing avocado onto bread, you blitz it with vinegar, garlic, and oil until it turns smooth and creamy. It spreads easily and gives you that rich avocado flavour. Toasted seed bread, fresh vegetables tossed with mint, and a crumble of feta tie everything together.
