Summer is all about making and enjoying incredible food that’s easy. Simple. This savory toast recipe is just that – & perfect for a Summer morning, mid-day or evening meal.
There’s so much exploring, traveling, and “simply being” happening in Summer. So no worries, I’ve got you covered. Whether you have a non stop work week and want a carefree weekend or you’re getting ready to pack up and head out to the beach for the day, this recipe is simple and satisfying. With just a few ingredients to pull together, you can enjoy a delicious, protein filled meal.
Also it’s important to add that the turmeric olive oil is a life changer. Promise. I’d recommend making extra to have on hand. Drizzle it on everything. Absolutely everything. If you’re short on time, you can use whatever greens you have in your fridge, and skip tossing it in lemon, simply drizzling on more infused oil.
