Instructions

1. Preheat your toaster or oven to 375°F. Place the multigrain bread slices on a baking sheet or in the toaster and toast for about 4–6 minutes, until crisp and golden brown.
2. While the bread toasts, halve the avocados. Remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.
3. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the mashed avocado and stir well to combine. Season with black pepper to taste.
4. Wash the mini cucumbers, then slice them into thin rounds.
5. When the toast is ready, remove from the oven or toaster and let cool slightly. Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over each slice of toast.
6. Arrange the sliced cucumbers over the avocado, slightly overlapping for full coverage.
7. Top each toast with an even amount of cold-smoked salmon, draping or folding the salmon for a generous layer.
8. Finish with a final crack of black pepper before serving.

Tips

• If you want to prep ahead, slice cucumbers and mash avocado with lemon juice up to 2 hours before serving. Keep covered to prevent browning.
