Move Over Avocado Toast. Tomato and Ricotta Cheese Toast Is Perfect for Your Picnic

It’s super simple to prepare, tastes gourmet, and unlike avocado, you can take it along and it won’t go brown.

The base of your toasts should be some good quality fresh bread (the parbaked French baguettes from the freezer section are also good). View the full summer worthy picnic in this post.

Since the ingredients are super simple, it’s important that they’re good quality.

Taste your tomatoes first to make sure they are really sweet. Ricotta can also vary greatly among the different brands (it’s not wise to choose the cheapest on the shelf with this product).
