  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

  • Season and toss arugula: Place arugula in a small bowl and add remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to completely coat arugula leaves.

Notes

  • Prep ahead: This recipe is best made right before eating, but if you’d like to reduce prep time simply make the arugula salad up to two hours ahead of time (making it too far in advance will mean wilted arugula).
  • Leftovers and storage: Store leftover toast in an airtight container in on the countertop or in the refrigerator for up to one day.
  • Nutrition notes: This recipe uses only plant-based ingredients, which makes it suitable for vegan diets. Use gluten free bread for a gluten free option. Nutrition information is an estimate and does not include optional seed garnishes.
