Heart Healthy Breakfast: Avocado Toast

• 2 slices of your favorite seedy whole grain bread, lightly toasted
• 1 small avocado, cut in half, pit removed
• 1 beefsteak tomato, sliced

• 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Extra Virgin olive oil, for drizzling
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Place the toasted bread on a cutting board. Using a butter knife, scoop out some avocado flesh and spread evenly on each toast, covering the whole area. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice on each toast.
2. Place 1-2 two tomato slices on top of avocado.
3. Place sliced onion on top of the tomato.
4. Gently weave the cucumber ribbons on top making a lattice pattern.
5. Drizzle lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
