Storage Instructions and Ingredient Substitutions
Avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store it, keep the avocado mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To prevent browning, cover the surface with plastic wrap.
If you can’t find limoncello, you can use lemon juice with a bit of honey or agave syrup for a similar citrusy sweetness.
Pairings
Pair your Limoncello Avocado Toast with a light, refreshing side salad or a bowl of fresh berries. For a perfect beverage, try a chilled glass of sparkling water with lemon wedges or a zesty Mimosa.
