Avocado Toast with Spiralized Beets, Swiss Chard, Feta and Bacon

You can’t go wrong with avocado toast! In this version we’ve changed it up a bit by adding some colorful and super delicious toppings to it. It would be great on little baguette squares as an appetizer for friends and family. The great thing about avocado toast is how filling it is - making it a perfect meal any time of the day.
