Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Ripe Avocados: Choose avocados that yield slightly when gently pressed; they should feel creamy yet firm.
Feta Cheese: Crumbled feta adds a salty zing; opt for high-quality cheese for best flavor.
Fresh Tomatoes: Use ripe tomatoes heirloom varieties work beautifully due to their sweetness and color.
Dried Cranberries: These add a touch of sweetness and chewiness; opt for unsweetened varieties if you prefer less sugar.
Olive Oil: A good extra virgin olive oil enhances flavor; consider infusing it with herbs for extra pizzazz.
Bread of Choice: I love using whole grain or sourdough for its hearty texture; choose whatever you enjoy!
Salt & Pepper: Basic seasonings elevate all flavors; use freshly cracked pepper for added zest.
