Hangry friends! I’ve got your back with these toasts. Delicious, protein-packed dinner that’s ready in less than 10 minutes.
It’s only slightly embarrassing that I am even sharing this recipe with you. Recipe!? Are we allowed to call it that if it’s essentially just toast with the most flavorful smashed white beans, juicy tomatoes and avocado?
If this wasn’t my new favorite lunch and what I’ve been eating for every I-don’t-feel-like-cooking day this month, the answer might be yes.But here we are, bean-tomato-avocado toast in one hand, glass of wine in the other. —> When dinner doesn’t require any oven or stove time, feel free to celebrate with some vino.
This dinner/lunch/midnight snack was inspired by this months Recipe Redux theme, “back to the dinner table.”
Friends, I’ve got a zillion dinner recipes on this space: pasta, sandwiches, soups, salads. Which makes sense as I originally started DK as a way to showcase healthy, vegetarian, everyday eats. While most of my recipes are ready in less than 30 minutes, I didn’t any 5 minute recipes- like this one.
In reality, a lot of my meals look like this one. Bread is the perfect canvas for just about everything and I love that toast has become trendy enough that my friends don’t give me the side eye when I tell them that I had avocado toast for dinner.
Did I mention how easy these are?
Smash Cannellini beans with fresh basil, garlic and a pinch of salt/pepper. High five for herby, creamy goodness! Smear that on thick slices of toasted sourdough bread. Top with the best tomatoes you can find and avocado.
Getting back to the dinner table has never been easier.

What a great way to up the protein game when it comes to avocado toast! Love it
YUMMY, always count on DK to come to the rescue with a delish hummus recipe! And, my goodness, can I please have that basil plant?! SO pretty!
I feel like I never use white beans enough! I always make hummus with chickpeas and put black beans in everything, but this looks devine. White beans are next on the list! 😀
I’ve been having an I don’t want to cook month with everything going on, so I need lots of delicious and nutritious ideas like this to get me through- great redux
