Toast the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 4-5 minutes depending on the toaster settings.
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado and mash it with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
Spread a quarter cup of cottage cheese evenly over each slice of toasted bread as the base layer.
Divide and spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly on top of the cottage cheese.
Place one ounce of smoked salmon on top of the avocado layer on each slice.
Sprinkle each toast with fresh dill, ensuring an even distribution across all slices.
Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes and capers over the top of each toast.
Serve immediately while the toast is crunchy, and enjoy your nutrient-packed avocado toast with smoked salmon!
