- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- pepper to taste
- 2½ cups canned beans an assortment, rinsed, and drained
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt to taste

Instructions
- Place the red onion and garlic in the seasoned rice vinegar and set aside for 15 minutes.
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half lengthwise and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Preheat a non-stick pan over high heat. When very hot, toss in the tomatoes and allow them to sit for a few minutes. Toss as they begin to char and remove from the pan when they begin to collapse and have some charred edges. Set aside.
- Combine the drained mixed beans with the onion, garlic, and all the juices in the bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and lemon juice. This bean salad can be made several days in advance and refrigerated. It actually tastes better if made at least 1 hour before using.
- Gently fold in the mixed herb, charred tomatoes, and feta cheese. Season to taste with salt and Aleppo pepper.
- Brush the slices of bread with olive oil and toast under a broiler or grill in a grill pan on both sides.
- Crush ½ an avocado directly on each slice of toast.
- Spoon ⅙ of the bean salad on top of the avocado, sprinkling with more feta if desired.
- Serve immediately.
