Canapés Radis Avocat au Sel Fumé

By LaLaCooks

So I've been on an avocado kick, and because the season of pink radishes is in full swing, I've been hung up on them, too. The classic way to enjoy pink radishes is to eat them with bread, butter, and salt, so I had this idea for a canapé: substitute avocado for the butter -- what is avocado if not green butter? -- and smoked salt for the ordinary salt.

Ingredients

• 1 small ripe avocado (or half of a large one)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Freshly ground pepper
• 20 slices from a ficelle (a slim baguette) or a baguette
Smoked salt (substitute fleur de sel, kosher salt, or salt + smoked paprika)
• 10 pink radishes, trimmed and halved

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the avocado and lemon juice in a small bowl, sprinkle with pepper, and mash roughly with a fork. Spoon onto the bread, season with a pinch of smoked salt, and top with half a radish. Serve immediately.
