Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked quinoa

1 ripe avocado, mashed

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

6 ounces smoked salmon, sliced into small circles

1 small cucumber, thinly sliced

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish

4 slices of whole-grain bread

Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a circular cookie cutter, cut out mini circles from each slice of whole-grain bread. Place the cut bread circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Toast the Base: Lightly drizzle the mini bread circles with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Toast them in the preheated oven for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

      Make the Avocado Spread: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed avocado, fresh lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are blended together and you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.

        Assemble the Toasts: Take each toasted bread circle and generously spread the avocado mixture over the top, making sure to cover each piece completely for enhanced flavor.

          Layer with Salmon: Gently place a small circle of smoked salmon atop the avocado spread on each toast, ensuring each piece has a nice portion of salmon.

            Garnish: Add a couple of thin cucumber slices and a sprinkle of finely chopped red onion on each mini toast. Finish off with a few sprigs of fresh dill for a touch of brightness and aroma.

              Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the assembled mini salmon avocado toast circles neatly on a serving platter. Serve them immediately as a delightful appetizer or a light snack perfect for any occasion!
