TIPS FOR AVOCADO AND SMOKED SALMON TOAST

• Use a perfectly ripe avocado for a creamy texture that spreads easily.

• Opt for high-quality smoked salmon to ensure a fresh, rich flavour.

• Adjust the toast level to your liking; a crispier base contrasts the creamy toppings.

VARIATIONS

• Herb Topping: Add fresh dill or chives for an aromatic twist.

• Spicy Option: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or drizzle with sriracha for a kick.

• Vegan Version: Swap the smoked salmon for thinly sliced cucumber or tomatoes.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Fridge: Prepare the mashed avocado and store it in an airtight container with a splash of lemon juice to prevent browning. It will last up to 24 hours in the fridge.

• Assembled Toast: Best consumed immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients. Avoid freezing, as the avocado and smoked salmon do not freeze well.
