Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Unsalted rice cakes
- 100 grams Low-sodium cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Prepare your workspace by gathering all ingredients and ensuring the rice cakes are easily accessible.
In a small bowl, stir the low-sodium cream cheese until smooth.
Wash and finely chop the fresh chives and add them to the cream cheese. Mix well to ensure even distribution of chives throughout the cream cheese.
Wash the cucumber under cold water. Using a knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the cucumber into thin, round disks. Set aside.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside for garnish.
Spread a generous tablespoon of the chive cream cheese mixture onto each unsalted rice cake, using the back of a spoon to smooth it out evenly.
Top each rice cake with cucumber slices, arranging them neatly to cover the cream cheese layer.
Place two cherry tomato halves on each rice cake, adding a pop of color and flavor.
Sprinkle a small pinch of black pepper over each assembled rice cake for added taste.
Serve immediately as a fresh, low sodium snack, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to keep the ingredients fresh.
