I served this at a few parties recently and it was always enthusiastically received. I placed three crostinis on a plate, lining them up evenly. I topped one with the Inspired Salmon Salad, another with the avocado topping and on the third I piled a simple mix of finely chopped tomatoes, some chopped, fresh basil, olive oil and salt and pepper. Neat, simple and refreshing. But what I really love about this recipe is its versatility. Sure, it’s great for parties. But it’s also a dream folded into an omelettes, served on a bagel with cream cheese or just scooped with veggies and crackers for an elegant, light lunch. It’s delicious every time.
