Ingredients
SUNDRIED TOMATO YOGURT SPREAD
- 1/2 cup (40g) sundried tomatoes (from a bag, not in oil!)
- 2 tablespoons (18g) raw, sunflower seeds OR 1 heaped tablespoon sunbutter (you could also use cashew butter if desired and not nut-free)
- 1/2 cup (120g) canned lite coconut milk (or another really creamy milk here, lite milks like almond or rice will not fair well)
- 2 tablespoons (30g) plain, unsweetened dairy-free yogurt (I love Kite Hill almond yogurt from Sprouts)
- 1 tablespoon (15g) fresh lemon juice
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon fine salt, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, but so good)
REMAINING INGREDIENTS
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 4 pieces bread of choice, toasted
- microgreens of choice (I used arugula microgreens I find at Sprouts)
- I use this food scale
Instructions
- To make the sundried tomato yogurt spread, soak the sundried tomatoes and sunflower seeds in a bowl of boiling water for a few hours, overnight is even better if you have the time or don't have a Vitamix.
- Drain the seeds and sundried tomatoes. Add them to a high-powered blender or food processor. Add the coconut milk, yogurt, lemon juice, salt and cayenne (if using) and blend until smooth or desired textured is reached. The mixture is going to get very thick and bit difficult to blend, so you will need to scrape the sides and bottom a few times and repeat until smooth. Taste and add any more lemon or salt, if desired. It should be tangy and flavorful.TIP: If you do not have a Vitamix or Blendtec, I suggest a food processor instead. Nuts and sundried tomatoes are really hard to break down in a standard blender and find that a good processor works better.
- Spread about a tablespoon of the sundried tomato yogurt spread on toast and top with sliced avocado, salt and pepper and then the microgreens.
- The spread makes a heaping cup, so you will have extra and can use it continuously for avocado toast or to spice up other sandwiches as a sandwich spread!
