Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices whole-grain or sourdough bread (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced or mashed (optional but recommended)
  • 1 small tomato, sliced, or a handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or a squeeze from a wedge
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper (optional)
  • Everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or dill (optional)
  • Greens like arugula or baby spinach (optional)

Method
 

  1. Toast the bread until golden and crisp. Sturdier bread holds toppings better.
  2. Prep your toppings. Slice avocado, tomato, and cucumber. Rinse and pat dry any greens.
  3. Season the hummus. Stir in a squeeze of lemon, a pinch of salt, and black pepper for extra brightness.
  4. Spread generously. Add a thick layer of hummus to the toast. Don’t be shy—it’s the protein base.
  5. Add the vegetables. Layer avocado, then tomato and cucumber. Top with greens if you like.
  6. Finish with flavor. Drizzle a little olive oil, sprinkle red pepper flakes or everything seasoning, and add fresh herbs.
  7. Taste and adjust. Add another pinch of salt, more lemon, or extra spice as needed.
  8. Serve immediately while the toast is still crisp.
