Ingredients

• 2 slices Whole-grain bread (low sodium or sodium-free)
• 1 medium Ripe avocado
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a touch of heat)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground, optional)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley (optional, finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Start by toasting the two slices of whole-grain bread in a toaster or toaster oven until golden brown and crisp to your liking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky, depending on your preference.

Step 4

Add the fresh lemon juice to the avocado and stir well to combine. This will add a zesty flavor and prevent the avocado from browning.

Step 5

If desired, mix in the garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and freshly ground black pepper for extra flavor.

Step 6

Remove the toasted bread from the toaster and place it on a plate.

Step 7

Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the two slices of toast.

Step 8

Garnish with finely chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, if desired, for an added burst of freshness.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low sodium avocado toast!
