Cucumber Sourdough Toast with Lemon EVOO

Looking for a light, delicious, and incredibly satisfying snack, breakfast, or light lunch? This Cucumber Sourdough Toast with Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the answer. It's a simple, fresh take on toast that's packed with flavor and beautiful to look at.

The crunch of the toast, the creamy tang of the spread, the cool snap of cucumber, and the bright, citrusy finish from the lemon EVOO make this a must-try recipe.

 

Why This Works

The Lemon EVOO is the star. Don't skip it! Its natural citrus infusion adds a beautiful zing that ties the whole dish together. If you can't find lemon EVOO, you can use regular high-quality EVOO and a light squeeze of fresh lemon juice, but the infused oil gives a more mellow, deep flavor.
