Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 slices whole-grain or whole-wheat bread
2 tablespoons sliced skin-on almonds
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Zest and juice of 1/2 orange
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 avocados, halved, pitted and scooped
5 ounces baby arugula (about 8 cups)
2 ounces aged Cheddar, crumbled
2 ounces thinly sliced deli ham, torn into bite-size pieces
5 radishes, very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Arrange the bread and almonds on a baking sheet, and bake, flipping the bread once, until the bread is toasted and crunchy and the almonds are golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, put the oil, vinegar, orange zest and juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a jar or other container with a lid. Secure the lid and shake until combined. (The vinaigrette can be made a day ahead; shake well before serving.)
  • Put an avocado half on each slice of toast and mash and spread the avocado with a fork to cover, season with salt. Quarter each piece of toast on the diagonal, and arrange the pieces with the points facing out to make a square on 4 plates.
  • Toss the arugula, Cheddar, ham, radishes, toasted almonds and vinaigrette in a medium bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. Put a mound of salad on top of each avocado-toast square. Top with a few grinds of pepper.

CHAYOTE AND AVOCADO SALAD

In Mexico and other parts of the world, chayote is usually chopped and cooked until tender. But you can skip the cooking and toss it thinly sliced with avocado, radish and your favorite dressing for a crisp refreshing salad.
