This is not only easy to prepare & beautiful on a plate but somewhat healthy, so we don't feel too guilty eating one too many! This is one of our favorite movie snacks and it also makes a great hors d'oeuvres at a dinner party. Our avocado sauce is lighter and very refreshing compared to regular guacamole, but if you're running out of time, traditional store-bought guacamole will do just fine!

To make toasted spicy lahvosh – which is a thin, crisp bread native to Armenia: Preheat 350F. Place the 2 pieces of lahvosh on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, coating the bread evenly. Season with salt, pepper, fines herbes mix and Moroccan spices (mix of paprika, crushed chilies, garlic, green cardamom, onion, coriander). Place in the oven for 10-12 minutes (until the bread is crunchy). Let cool and break into pieces. Ideal for dipping or toppings!
