• 1 teaspoon Lime juice
• 2 slices Low sodium ham
• 4 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 1 pinch Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices to your desired level of crispiness using a toaster or a skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the lime juice to the avocado and mash it with a fork until it's creamy but still slightly chunky.

Step 4

Season the avocado mash with a pinch of black pepper and 0.5 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for a slight kick.

Step 5

Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves and set them aside.

Step 6

Once the bread is toasted, spread an even layer of the avocado mixture over each slice.

Step 7

Top the avocado toast with slices of low sodium ham, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Place the halved cherry tomatoes over the ham, adding a pop of color and freshness.

Step 9

Finely chop the fresh chives and sprinkle them over the top of each toast.

Step 10

Serve the low sodium avocado toast with ham immediately, enjoying the blend of creamy, savory, and slightly spicy flavors.
