A light dressing of olive oil and lemon juice provides a refreshing zest, making this meal feel elegant while taking only 6 minutes to get onto the table!

Simple Smoked Salmon Toast

Smoked salmon may just be the easiest way to add more fish to your diet. As the Mayo Clinic notes, salmon is a rich source of the heart-healthy omega-3 fats we could all use to eat more of. In this easy toast recipe, smoked salmon gets topped with flavorful fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice to lend flavor with minimal calories. Plus, the lemon adds a touch of vitamin C to your dish, notes the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

In this recipe, olive oil and Greek yogurt stand in for mayonnaise to add more protein and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats in place of the saturated fats in mayo, as the U.S. Department of Agriculturenotes.

Honeyed Cottage Cheese and Peach Toast

Cottage cheese is high in satiating protein and a good source of bone-building calcium, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These qualities make it a great part of a well-balanced meal, especially atop a nutritious whole-grain base. Here, low-fat cottage cheese gets paired with fresh fruit for added fiber, vitamins, and minerals. You can make this dish even more refreshing by incorporating a dash of mint.

Protein-Packed Beans on Toast

Beans may seem counterintuitive for a morning meal in the United States, but beans on toast is a traditional breakfast in the United Kingdom. Nutritionally speaking, beans for breakfast (or any meal, really) are a smart choice, too — they pack fiber and protein, per the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Plus, this no-frills dish offers a fast way to get a complete meal on the table in a hurry (translation: It’s perfect for busy weekdays and nights).

Mediterranean Toast

This recipe allows you to eat like a Greek with Mediterranean staples like fresh feta and sliced peppers (any color — green, yellow, red, or orange!) will do. You’ll get fiber from those peppers as well as via the hummus and bread plus vitamin C from the former, notes the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Stocking up on C is a boon to your immune system: Research suggests many popular claims around this antioxidant are overblown, but C could indeed help reduce the duration of the common cold.
