Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

2 slices of crusty bread (sourdough or whole grain)

2 tablespoons cream cheese (or a vegan alternative such as cashew cream)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

Optional garnishes: red pepper flakes, microgreens, or thinly sliced radishes for a pop of color

Instructions
 

Toast the Bread: Start by toasting the slices of bread in either a toaster or on a skillet until they reach a golden brown and crispy texture. This step adds a delightful crunch that complements the creamy toppings.

    Prepare the Avocado Mixture: Cut the ripe avocados in half, carefully remove the pit, and scoop the creamy flesh into a mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork to mash the ingredients together until well combined; aim for a creamy yet slightly chunky consistency.

      Incorporate the Dill: Add the chopped fresh dill to the avocado mixture. Stir gently to mix everything, then taste and adjust the seasoning with extra salt or pepper if needed. The dill will add a bright, herby flavor to your spread.

        Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted to perfection, generously spread an even layer of the avocado mixture on top of each slice, making sure to cover it well for maximum flavor.

          Layer the Cucumbers: Carefully arrange the thin cucumber slices over the creamy avocado spread, fanning them out or stacking them for visual appeal. Feel free to get creative with the presentation!

            Garnish: For extra flavor, sprinkle additional salt, freshly ground black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes over the top to add a spicy kick. To enhance the freshness, finish with a scattering of microgreens or delicate radish slices.

              Serve and Enjoy: For a beautiful presentation, cut each toast in half and serve immediately on a clean plate. Dive into this vibrant and creamy cucumber avocado toast, perfect for breakfast or a delightful snack at any time of the day!
