Begin by toasting two slices of whole grain bread in a toaster until they reach your desired level of crispiness, about 2-3 minutes.
While the bread is toasting, cut a medium avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the avocado to prevent browning and add a fresh, tangy flavor.
Mash the avocado with a fork until it is mostly smooth, but still has some small chunks for texture.
Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice.
Slice or crumble 2 ounces of low-sodium cheese (such as Swiss or mozzarella) and distribute evenly over the avocado-topped toasts.
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes over each toast for added flavor and a slight kick.
Garnish the toasts with a sprinkling of 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley for color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Sodium Avocado and Cheese Toast as a savory, healthy snack or breakfast.
