Frequently Asked Questions for Fresh Dill and Avocado Toast

Can I use dried dill instead of fresh?

Fresh dill is recommended for the best flavor, but you can use dried dill in a pinch. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried dill as a substitute for 1 tablespoon of fresh.

What type of bread works best?

Whole-grain bread is recommended for added nutrients and fiber, but you can use any bread you like—sourdough, rye, or even gluten-free.

Can I make the avocado mixture ahead of time?

It's best to make the avocado mixture just before serving to prevent browning. However, adding lemon juice does help keep it green for a little longer.

Can I add other toppings?

If you have leftover avocado mixture, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. It's best to consume it as soon as possible to enjoy its freshness.
