Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick whole grain bread

1/2 cup tahini

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)

Sea salt, to taste

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

1/2 avocado, sliced

A handful of cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh herbs (like parsley or mint), for garnish

Black sesame seeds or hemp seeds, for garnish

Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting the slices of whole grain bread until they are golden and crispy.

    Prepare Tahini Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the tahini with lemon juice, maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of sea salt until well combined and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little water to reach your desired consistency.

      Spread Tahini: Take the toasted bread and generously spread the tahini mixture over each slice.

        Add Toppings: Now it’s time to add your toppings! Start by layering thin cucumber slices on two slices of toast, avocado slices on another two, and a mix of cherry tomatoes on either variant.

          Season Finally: Sprinkle red pepper flakes (if desired), additional sea salt, and black sesame or hemp seeds over the top for added texture and flavor.

            Garnish and Serve: Add a final drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately and enjoy as a delightful breakfast, snack, or light meal!
