They would have been canapés back in 1979--today they're trendy avocado toasts. Let your guests creatively customize their nibbles by setting out an array of garnishes for this healthy appetizer.

You’re joking right? Your name is “Eating Well” yet this recipe calls for adding a teaspoon of salt?! Do you even know how much sodium is already in smoked salmon, and you want to add so much more?

This was so good! I used the entire items and used it as dinner for two. I used 4 usual sized pumpernickel bread. Added the avocado with fresh basil & chives. Then I cut up 4 oz of wild salmon and put them on each bread. Then put the capers on top. We ate that with organic chips. We loved it!!! I will make it again soon!
