Sometimes I need to be reminded of the simple not-quite-recipes that are just as pleasing as an elaborate feast.
Here I share this humble gem, along with another favorite, fresh radishes with butter and salt. Happy lunching.
Ingredients
Tartine with Mustard Mayo and Mashed Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
- 2 slices whole grain bread, toasted
- 1/2 ripe avocado, peeled
- A few drops lemon juice
- Salt
Radishes with Butter and Salt
- Handful fresh radishes with their tops attached, scrubbed
- Fresh unsalted butter, just below room temperature (so it's soft but not oily)
- Flaky sea salt like Maldon
