Ingredients
  

4 slices of artisanal whole-grain bread

8 oz smoked salmon

1 ripe avocado, mashed

2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried dill)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon capers (optional)

Microgreens or arugula for garnish

Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Toast the slices of whole-grain bread to your desired crispiness. A well-toasted bread provides a sturdy base that complements the toppings.

    Avocado Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the mashed avocado, cream cheese, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

      Assemble the Toasts: Spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture evenly over each slice of toasted bread.

        Layer the Salmon: Carefully lay slices of smoked salmon on top of the avocado spread. You can fold or layer them artistically for a beautiful presentation.

          Add Capers and Garnish: If using, sprinkle capers over the top. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, a dash of freshly ground black pepper, and a handful of microgreens or arugula for color and freshness.

            Serve: Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crispy.
