Ingredients
Whole grain bread, toasted
Hummus (preferably low-sodium)
Sliced cucumber
Cherry tomatoes, halved
Avocado slices
Baby spinach leaves
Fresh lemon wedge
Cracked black pepper
Crumbled feta cheese (optional, use sparingly)
Instructions
Spread a generous layer of hummus over the toasted whole grain bread while it’s still warm.
Arrange baby spinach leaves on top of the hummus, creating a fresh green bed. Layer with thin cucumber slices and cherry tomato halves for a juicy crunch.
Add creamy avocado slices over the vegetables. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the top and finish with a sprinkle of cracked black pepper.
If desired, add a small amount of crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor without overwhelming the dish’s DASH-friendly profile.
Serve immediately for a colorful, hearty, and refreshing start to your morning.
