Put a party favorite like guacamole on some toasted bread and top it with a sweet summer peach salsa. Put it in front of your hungry friends and then just try to keep up with the demand. They go fast! —Dorie Colangelo

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 large baguette
  • Olive oil, for toasting bread
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

  3. In a separate bowl, toss together the peaches, onion, salt and pepper.
  4. Spread each piece of toasted bread with some guacamole and top with a bit of the peach salsa. Serve right away.
