Avocado Toast with Lemon Balsamic Arugula
with sweet potato fries / fruit parfaits
There's always room for avocado toast in the heat of summer, but we couldn't resist including the same side used in the original version of this meal - baked fries (sweet potato fries are great here) with ketchup. Berry parfaits can give the meal a patriotic touch if you use red and blue berries layered with plain yogurt.
