Rub the grilled or toasted bread slices with the garlic clove, this is optional – but highly recommended if you’re a garlic lover.
Save the crostini bread slices until ready to use.
For the avocado bruschetta:
Sprinkle the onion slices with salt and rinse well with cold water.
Combine the avocado, onion, hot peppers, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and salt in a bowl and mix well, chill until ready to use.
Place a generous amount of the avocado bruschetta salsa on top of each piece of crostini or toast. Serve and enjoy!
