Delightful Macadamia Tomato Toast Treat

Here’s a healthy version of a classic open-faced sandwich with Macadamia Ricotta Cheese that’s perfect for any meal, or as a snack. There are 2 parts to this recipe: the homemade macadamia ricotta and the tomato toast. Here’s what we’re going to do:

Take 2 slices of a hearty whole-grain bread, spread each slice with 1 tablespoon of homemade macadamia ricotta cheese, and sprinkle with shiso or basil, kosher salt, and fresh cracked pepper to taste. Add 1-2 hearty slices of fresh heirloom tomatoes (blotted with paper towel to remove excess liquid) and enjoy.

You’ll need the following ingredients

For the macadamia ricotta:

1 cup soaked raw macadamia nuts, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons white mellow miso paste
2 small cloves garlic
8-10 tablespoons filtered water
1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

For the tomato toast:

6-8 slices whole grain gluten-free bread (or bread of choice), toasted
1/2 pound tomatoes, sliced with 1/4″ thickness
1/2 cup macadamia ricotta
1/4 cup julienned shiso (or basil substitute)
a few pinches black lava salt (or large grain sea salt)
