Healthy Avocado Toast features artisan bread, creamy avocado, sweet heirloom tomatoes, lemon olive oil drizzle, sriracha salt, crushed hemp seeds, and microgreens…
Avocado Toast recipes are all over Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook… they’re everywhere! I’m here to tell you that not all these recipes are created equal.
The “Regular” plain way involves smashing a ripe avocado on top of a piece of toast and seasoning it, perhaps with a bit of salt and pepper. BORING!

Toasted artisan whole grain bread, creamy avocado, sweet heirloom tomatoes, lemon infused olive oil drizzle, sprinkles of sriracha salt, crushed hemp heart seeds, and microgreens. Yum, Yum, and Yum!

How to Make Avocado Toast
Step 1: Toast 2 pieces of artisan bread.
Step 2: Cut avocado in half, remove pit and scoop out avocado on a plate. Use a fork, press avocado till smooth, and spread avocado on toast.
Step 3: Slice heirloom tomatoes in half, place on top of avocado.
Step 4: Drizzle lemon infused EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) over top.
Step 5: Sprinkle with sriracha salt (or pink Himalayan salt) and crushed hemp seeds.
Step 6: Place some micro greens on top, then enjoy. Yum!
What is the Best Bread?
The best bread should always be whole grain bread. You don’t want to use white bread!
Use hearty, wholesome, whole grain artisan breads. If you want, you could even go the extra step and make your own whole grain artisan bread!
Is It Good for Weight Loss?
Avocado Toast won’t magically make the pounds melt off without any extra effort, but it can be part of a well-balanced weight loss plan. The healthy fats in avocados make it a highly satisfying meal, so you’ll stay full longer meaning you’ll probably eat less overall.
How to Make Homemade Sriracha Salt
Speaking of making your own… I highly recommend making your own Sriracha Salt for this recipe. It’s amazing and so much easier than you might think!
All you need is:
- 1/3 cup Sriracha sauce
- 1/2 cup kosher sea salt
To Make Sriracha Salt: mix the ingredients in a small bowl. Then spread on a dinner plate and microwave 1 minute at a time. Stir every 60 seconds with a fork, for 5 minutes total.
Sriracha salt will be slightly damp and will continue to dry as it cooks. Let it cool and dry for several hours on the counter overnight.
To Store: Store in small spice jars, or mason jar.
Enjoy With: guacamole, roasted vegetables, french fries, grilled fish, or try fruit: mango, pineapple, watermelon.
