Smoked Salmon Avocado Sandwich (Printable Version)

Luxurious layers of smoked salmon, avocado and herbed cream cheese on toasted bread with fresh vegetables for incredible flavor.

# Ingredients:

→ Bread

01 - 2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread

→ Protein

02 - 3 ounces of smoked salmon

→ Spread

03 - 2 tablespoons cream cheese or Greek yogurt
04 - ½ teaspoon lemon juice
05 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
06 - ¼ teaspoon dried dill or fresh dill, chopped

→ Toppings

07 - ½ avocado, sliced
08 - 2 slices of tomato
09 - ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
10 - Handful of arugula or baby spinach

# Steps:

01 - Gather all ingredients and prepare them. Slice the avocado, tomato, and red onion into thin, even slices. Finely chop fresh dill if using.
02 - In a small bowl, combine cream cheese (or Greek yogurt) with lemon juice, black pepper, and dill until well mixed.
03 - Lightly toast bread slices to add crunch and prevent sogginess when adding spread and toppings.
04 - Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each toasted bread slice. Layer smoked salmon evenly over one slice. Add sliced avocado, followed by tomato and red onion. Top with arugula or baby spinach. Place the second slice of bread on top and gently press down.
05 - Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - For best flavor, allow the smoked salmon to come to room temperature before assembling the sandwich.
