Lemony zucchini ribbons on avocado toast (vegan)

You can tweak this recipe to make it your own by varying the ingredients.

Vary the bread: Try whole grain bread, multigrain, sourdough, or any sturdy bread that you enjoy. For a gluten-free option, opt for gluten-free bread.

Vary the toasting method: Use a toaster to toast the bread. Or lightly oil the bread with vegan butter or eggless mayo and toast it in a skillet.

Vary the amount of avocado: I like to use half of a small avocado, but if you prefer, you can use all of it, or use half of a large avocado and really pile it on.

Vary the spread: Replace smashed avocado with vegan cream cheese, vegan feta cheese, vegan ricotta cheese, or homemade hummus.

Vary the seasonings: If you like, add more seasonings like granulated garlic, granulated onion, cayenne, or red pepper flakes. Replace lemon juice with lime juice.

Vary the toppings: Add fresh herbs like cilantro, dill, parsley, or basil. Sprinkle on microgreens, sprouts, pea tendrils, or chives.

Add crunch: Add toasted sunflower seeds, pepitas, hemp seeds, or sesame seeds.

Add extra tang: Get tangy with pickled onions or pickled shallots.
