The excellent soup known as “ash reshteh” is typically cooked with “reshteh,” a type of Persian noodle. They are available in Middle Eastern markets, or linguine pasta can be used in their place. It’s customary for the Persian New Year to serve this warming spicy soup with yogurt and fried red onions on top.

Phenomenally delicious! The subtle flavor of avocado, along with the lemon juice/zest, and fresh cilantro and chia seeds gave a wonderful burst of flavor. Although I could not taste the cayenne per se, I think it probably helped the lemon from overpowering the taste
Love this topped with fresh cut serrano chilis and toasted sesame seeds. Used sourdough toast.
very good! Thank you.
Easy, fast, & So good !
Delicious! I loved the addition of the Chia seeds. I made two slices: on the second I added garlic salt instead of regular, and I liked that even more. The only difference I made to the first was to use a regular lemon. Sooo good!
Hi quadrupled the recipe sprinkled sprinkled a little Chia seeds on top. Are used real lemon and lemon juice. Love it!
Really easy. I put one whole avocado instead of the half for two toasts.
While I love avocados and I loved this toast, half an avocado could not possibly have only 1g of fat. In my recipe importer at myfitnesspal, it list this recipe as 11g of fat.
Delicious! Didn’t have cilantro and it was still fantastic!!
Very nice and easy to prepare
I loved this recipe! It tastes great on toasted bagels and toasted dark rye bread. There are four things that I added to make this taste even BETTER! Add a few chopped up sun-dried tomatoes to the avocado mixture. Spread a layer of basil pesto to the toast just before you put on the avocado mixture. Top it with a few slices of boiled eggs. If you’re into black olives, a couple of sliced black olives go nicely on it, too. WOW! Heavenly. My hubby raves about it!
Simple and delicious!!
Heard about this a lot desided to try it to add to my skill set. Quick easy came out great for my brunch . Added an egg.
We enjoyed this healthy recipe. Note that you need to zest the lemon; I didn’t see that until after I had juiced it. We have a Meyer lemon tree so this will be a great way to use them – would also be fantastic with fresh lime juice. If you wanted something more decadent, a fried egg or bacon would make delicious additions. We doubled the avocado portion of the recipe and would do that again next time.
I was surprised how good this was! I had never tried Avocado Toast before so I looked up a recipe for it and this one sounded good. I didn’t have any cilantro so I substituted parsley (cilantro would have been better) Used fresh squeezed lemon juice and butter on the toast. This would be good on a bagel too, I will definitely make it again!
Delicious! I served with gazpacho and together they were the perfect summer meal.
I didn’t have Chia seeds. But this was excellent. Easy, yummy, healthy, and my kiddo gave it a thumbs up as well.
delicious
I would make it again; I forgot the lemon zest
Omg this was AMAZING. I literally just finished eating it and did not want to tarry in writing my review. This was my first time trying avocado toast and I must say I’m glad I chose this recipe to try! The flavors were a wowzer in my mouth; I followed the recipe exactly. On one of the slices I put a fried egg on top……yummy yummy yummy! It’s excellent both ways. Use a nice sized avocado so it will be enough for both slices. 5 stars!!
Loved it as is!! Only changes I’ve made are sometimes adding extra of some things.. Was my go to lunch for work! Thanks!!
