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.
