Instructions

1
1. Toast the 4 bread slices in a skillet, toaster, or under the oven broiler until golden and crisp. If using the oven, toast at 220 °C / 425 °F for 3 minutes, watching closely so they do not burn.
2
2. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the tahini, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
3
3. In another bowl, combine the grated carrot with 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice, honey, olive oil, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, and half of the chopped mint. Mix well so the carrot is evenly coated.
4
4. Spread each toast with a generous layer of the yogurt-tahini cream.
5
5. Divide the spiced carrot on top, then add the chopped dates and toasted pistachios.
6
6. Finish with the remaining mint and, if desired, an extra drizzle of honey. Serve immediately to keep the contrast between crisp toast and creamy topping.

Chef tips

For even more crunch, chop the pistachios right before serving. If the yogurt mixture feels too thick, loosen it with a few extra drops of lemon juice.

Substitutions

You can swap Greek yogurt for thick plain yogurt; mint for tender parsley; and pistachios for walnuts or sunflower seeds if you want a different texture. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free bread.
