Open-faced sandwiches are great for cutting out extra calories while trying to lose weight.  This recipe calls for sprouted grain bread, which is flourless bread that is densely packed with nutrients, but any healthy bread will do.  Store your sprouted grain bread in the freezer, since it is made without preservatives or chemicals to promote shelf life.

Yield:  2 servings

Here’s what you need:
1 sprouted grain bun
2 Tablespoons hummus
1/2 cup arugula
Half of an avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
6 oz smoked salmon
2 thin slices of onion
4 slices of heirloom tomato
Salt and pepper to taste
Spread each piece of the bun with 1 Tablespoon of hummus.  Top each with half the arugula, avocado, salmon, onions, and tomato.
Season with freshly ground sea salt and pepper.
