O.G. Avocado Toast

 

Ingredients:

1 slice of toast (Simple Kneads is my favorite)

1/2 of a fresh avocado*

Thinly sliced organic cucumber

Everything bagel seasoning

Squeeze of lemon juice

Directions:

Toast the bread. Spoon the avocado flesh into a small bowl and mash with the lemon juice OR mash with a fork inside the avocado skin and top with lemon juice (I can’t be the only one who doesn’t like doing dishes). Spread avocado on the toast, add sliced cucumbers, and sprinkle on everything bagel seasoning!


*A trick to always have fresh avocados: I buy several at a time while they’re hard (unless it’s the rare occasion I get a perfectly fresh one at the store) and store a few in the fridge and a few on the windowsill in my kitchen. After usually 2 days at room temp, they are perfect and buttery smooth. As I eat the room temp avocados, I pull a new one out of the fridge to sit at room temp.

For the salad:

4 cups of washed organic Frisée lettuce (spinach, mesclun, any other salad green will work!)

3/4 cup sliced organic strawberries

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds (or pistachios)

Hemp Hearts

For the dressing:

1 cup organic strawberries

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 Tbsp shallot

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds (if you don’t have poppy seeds, sprinkle some chia seeds on the salad right before eating, otherwise they’ll hydrate and get jelly)

Directions:

  1. Toast the pumpkin seeds on the stove with a little bit of avocado oil and sea salt. I do this in a small frying pan on medium heat.

  2. Blend all of the dressing ingredients together and then stir in the poppy seeds.

  3. Add salad ingredients to a bowl. Top with toasted seeds, dressing, and Hemp Hearts!
