Equipment

  • Toaster
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices whole grain bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • a pinch salt
  • a pinch black pepper
  • 4 ounces smoked salmon sliced
  • 0.5 English cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sliced red onion for topping (optional)
  • Microgreens for topping (optional)
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Start by toasting your whole grain bread to your desired level of crispiness.
  • While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mash it all together with a fork until smooth, leaving some chunks for texture if you prefer.
  • Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado onto each slice. Make sure to cover the bread completely for maximum flavor.
  • Next, layer the smoked salmon on top of the avocado.
  • Arrange the thinly sliced cucumber over the salmon for a refreshing crunch. Drizzle a teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil over the top for added richness.
  • If you're feeling a little fancy, add sliced red onion and microgreens for an extra pop of flavor and color.
  • Serve your Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing. Squeeze some lemon juice over the top just before eating for that refreshing burst.

Notes

  • Choose a ripe avocado for the best creamy texture; if too hard, ripen in a paper bag for a couple of days.
  • Keep an eye on toast to prevent burning, as toaster heat varies.
  • Adjust amount of smoked salmon if it tastes too salty; more avocado can help balance flavors.
  • Substitute ingredients like gluten-free bread or smoked tempeh for dietary preferences.
  • Store pre-sliced cucumber in the fridge but avoid freezing avocado or assembled toast to maintain texture.
