Whether you're looking to beef up a boring salad or put a twist on avocado toast, this recipe has you covered. You can feel good about loading up on nutrient-dense greens, as well as the almonds, which add more than 20 percent of your daily supply of essential vitamins and minerals. A sprinkle of feta cheese ties the whole thing together with a salty bite.

Ingredients
4 slices whole-grain or whole wheat bread
2 tablespoons sliced skin-on almonds
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Juice and zest of 1/2 orange plus other half reserved
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 large avocado, halved, pitted, scooped and quartered
5 ounces baby arugula (about 8 cups)
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
5 radishes, very thinly sliced

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the bread and almonds on a baking sheet, and bake until the bread is toasted and crunchy and the almonds are golden, approximately 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Combine the vinegar, orange juice, zest, olive oil, salt and pepper in a jar. Shake until emulsified.

Put an avocado quarter on each slice of toast, and mash the avocado with a fork to cover the surface of the bread. Quarter each piece of toast, and arrange the pieces on four plates with the points facing out to make a square.

Toss the arugula, toasted almonds, feta, radishes and vinaigrette in a medium bowl. Season to taste. Top each avocado toast square with a mound of salad. Quarter the remaining orange half, and garnish each salad with a piece.

Trade your standard condiments for ones that pack more exotic flavors. Tahini, a Middle Eastern condiment made of sesame seeds, lends creamy texture and a nutty flavor as well as protein, calcium, manganese and omega-3 and 6 fatty acids. Homemade pesto brightens up the dish with an herbaceous punch.

Ingredients
Avocado Toast 2 Slices Bread of Choice
1 Avocado
Tahini
Black Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes
Pesto
1 cup herbs, packed - half parsley, half cilantro (or any herbs of your choice)
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Juice from 1/2 a Lime
1/4 Tsp Pepper
Salt, to taste

Directions
Start by preparing the pesto. Combine all pesto ingredients in a food processor, and blend until smooth. The sauce should be thin enough to drizzle. Taste, and adjust seasoning accordingly. Toast bread until both sides are golden brown. Cut avocado in half, and remove the pit. Cut thin slices into each half, and scoop out with a spoon, ensuring the slices remain intact. Layer the sliced avocado onto the toasted bread, then, drizzle with pesto and tahini sauce. Sprinkle black and/or crushed pepper on top for a little more kick.
