Smoked Salmon, Avocado & Cucumber Rye Toast
Rye toast topped with creamy avocado, smoked salmon, cucumber and fresh dill.
Salmon provides long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, while avocado and wholegrain rye contribute fibre and unsaturated fats. Cucumber and fresh herbs keep the topping light and fresh.
Method
- 1 Toast the rye bread until crisp around the edges and firm enough to hold toppings without turning soggy underneath.
- 2 In a small bowl, mash the avocado with the lemon juice using a fork — the lemon juice stops it browning and adds a little sharpness — then spread it evenly over the toast right to the edges.
- 3 Layer the smoked salmon over the avocado in loose folds rather than flat sheets, so it doesn't slide off when you bite, then scatter the cucumber slices on top.
- 4 Finish with a scattering of fresh dill and a good grind of black pepper, and serve immediately while the toast is still crisp.
