In this chapter of I love avocado toast more than life itself, I bring you avocado toast with black lentils.

I saw the recipe on Instagram and it was love at first sight. I had never thought to put black lentils on avocado toast, but it’s a brilliant combination (for some reason, that part of the sentence came out with a British accent).

I would highly, highly recommend buying the vegan chipotle mayonnaise to spread on the toast (under the avocado). It adds a little kick and pairs well with the balsamic and avocado. I bought Hampton Creek’s “Just Mayo” and I’m going to start using it on all my sandwiches.

Okay…so I’ve been backpedaling about talking about this because I feel like a fan girl and I surprised myself by liking it so much. But I’m kind of obsessed with the movie Begin Again.  I just watched it on Netflix and it’s good. SO good. Here is one of my favorite songs from the movie.

And here’s another, unrelated song that I’m listening to right now.
