Ingredients
- 4 pieces low-fat rice cakes
- 100 grams low-fat cream cheese
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 8 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it into thin rounds. Wash the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese with freshly chopped dill, black pepper, sea salt, and lemon zest until all ingredients are well combined. This mixture will be your spread.
Step 3
Take the low-fat rice cakes and spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture on each one using a butter knife.
Step 4
Arrange the cucumber slices evenly on top of the cream cheese layer on each rice cake.
Step 5
Place the cherry tomato halves on top of the cucumbers, gently pressing them into the cream cheese to ensure they stick.
Step 6
Optionally, garnish each rice cake with extra dill or a sprinkle of lemon zest for added flavor.
Step 7
Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp texture of the rice cakes, or pack them in an airtight container for a delicious snack later that's still low in fat.
