Plain avocado toast is now a thing of the past. Bump up the protein and the flavor with this plant-based take on a BLT using smoky tempeh bacon, roasted tomatoes and toasted seeds. This is a great easy meal that can be eaten at any time of the day. The sharpness of the arugula is balanced by the sweetness of the bacon and roasted tomatoes - this dish is a soon-to-be staple in your weekly menu.

1/2 the Tempeh Bacon recipe
1 large, ripe avocado
1 small green onion, diced
1 lemon, halved
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped or julienne
1/4 teaspoon dried chili flakes
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cups baby arugula
1 teaspoon olive oil

Once your have prepared your Tempeh Bacon, set it aside.
Spray a large pan with the olive oil and add the cherry tomatoes. Sear for 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and remove. Alternatively, you can roast the tomatoes on a parchment paper lined sheet pan for 12 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
