Ingredients
- 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread (or your choice of bread)
- 1 ripe avocado

- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 1/4 cup microgreens (such as radish or sunflower microgreens)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
- Toast the Bread:
- Toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispness. You can use a toaster or grill the bread on a skillet with a little olive oil for extra flavor.
- Prepare the Avocado:

- Assemble the Toasts:
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly on the toasted bread.
- Add the Kimchi:
- Top the avocado with a generous amount of chopped kimchi. The tanginess and spice of the kimchi will complement the creamy avocado beautifully.

- Finish with a handful of microgreens for freshness and a burst of flavor.
- Optional Toppings:
- Drizzle a little olive oil on top for extra richness, and add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
