Author Notes
My dear friend Sarah runs a beautiful and culture-changing women’s magazine called Darling. It is a publication intent on changing the way women see and feel about themselves. Along with the print magazine, they host many events around the country to create community among women. I remember the first time I got to host a Darling Brunch I was so nervous and wanted everything to be perfect. I made these gorgeous lox toasts because of their beauty and vibrancy. They are not only ridiculously beautiful, but are also packed with incredible, clean ingredients that leave you feeling lovely on the inside too. This recipe makes 8 toasts so you can host your own color-packed brunch!

TIP: These toasts are fine to make ahead of time! They don’t need to be warm. I love making them an hour or so before I have guests over so they’re ready to go when my friends walk in the door!
