Usually, in my recipes I try to avoid using tropical fruits. They are delicious, but to get them here in Italy in good shape is very hard. In Sicily, due to climate change, it is possible to cultivate avocado and mango. I buy these fruits directly from the Sicilian farmers and the taste is unique.
This bruschetta has all the freshness of typically summer ingredients like tomatoes and basil (from my vegetable garden) and the delicacy of a pesto, made special by avocado, rich in nutritional properties.
