- 4 slices whole-grain bread slices
- 200 grams smoked salmon
- 120 grams reduced-fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Finely chop the fresh dill and fresh chives and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the reduced-fat cream cheese, chopped dill, chopped chives, lemon zest, and black pepper, then mix until well combined to create the herb cream cheese.
Toast the whole-grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp.
Once toasted, spread a generous amount of the herb cream cheese on each slice of bread.
Top each toast with some arugula leaves.
