This toast makes for a perfect solo lunch. A thick slice of sourdough is toasted and topped with smashed avocado, capers and salty slivers of smoked salmon. Rounding out these ingredients is the real star of the show: a tall pile of shaved carrot salad tossed in vinegar and olive oil. Sweet, salty and briny, the raw carrot salad offers a nice textural contrast to the rest of the toast. Like most toasts, this one is best eaten right away.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, combine carrots, oil and vinegar; season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix and set aside. (Carrot salad can be refrigerated for a day or two before serving.)

  2. Step 2

    In a small skillet over medium-high heat, toast both sides of the sourdough bread to desired level of doneness, about 3 minutes for the first side and 2 minutes for the second. When the bread is toasted, plate it and top with mashed avocado. Press the capers on top, drape with the smoked salmon and finish with the shaved raw carrot salad.

Eating this now. Deliciuos fancy lunch! I added shaed red onion to the salad and loads of pepper.

Loved it. I had to use rice vinegar and a mediocre avocado so will definitely be more picky about the ingredients in the future. And it will likely be a 5 star at that point.

Didn’t expect such nice flavor combination. Kept wondering if I need jalapeño or some other herbs or spices. Ended up being perfect as it was. No modification necessary.
