Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 8 slices low-sodium, nitrate-free ham
- 1 large avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
Instructions
Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado mixture. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
Add the lemon juice and mash the avocado until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and dijon mustard to make a creamy spread.
To assemble the toast, spread a spoonful of the yogurt mixture on each slice of warm toast.
Layer each toast with 2 slices of ham, followed by the wilted spinach, and a few tomato slices.
Finish by evenly spreading the mashed avocado on top and sprinkle with ground black pepper.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy gourmet ham toast.
