05

Step

Transfer crostini to a work surface; rub garlic on each slice and sprinkle with salt.

06

Step

Divide mozzarella among crostini; top with avocado, salt, squeeze of lemon, tomato, and dill. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon oil over crostini; sprinkle with flaked salt.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a balsamic glaze drizzle after assembling the crostini.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as basil or oregano, in place of dill.
If you don't have fresh mozzarella, burrata would also be a delicious alternative.
