Lunchtime Trio

"A trio of toasted breads with different toppings: one with lightly grilled vegan cheddar, second one with mashed avocado with a pinch of salt and tomato and the third one with sunflower butter. Accompanied by a salad of sliced cooked beetroot and rocket. Peppermint tea brewed with a couple of slices of apple is assisting me in digesting the spread."
