Begin by preparing your toppings. If using avocado, cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Slice the cucumber and tomatoes into thin rounds or dice them, depending on your preference.
For assembly, take a rice cake and spread a layer of cream cheese over it. Top with sliced cucumber and sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired.
For another variation, spread hummus on a rice cake and top with diced tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil.
For a hearty option, spread mashed avocado on a rice cake, then layer with smoked salmon and garnish with herbs.
Repeat the process for the remaining rice cakes and toppings. Arrange them on a serving plate and enjoy!
Feel free to experiment with different toppings based on your personal preferences. Other options include nut butter, sliced fruits, or even a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
