Rice Cracker with Cream Cheese, Avocado and Salmon Roe

PREP TIME: 5 minutes
SERVES: 2

IINGREDIENTS:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 2 rice crackers
• Pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons salmon ikura
• Arugula leaves, for garnish

DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare the rice crackers: Lay out the rice crackers on a serving plate. Evenly spread a thick layer of cream cheese on the crackers.
2. Make the avocado ribbons: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and skin. Use a vegetable peeler or a very sharp knife to shave thin ribbons from the avocado flesh. Gently toss the ribbons with lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Assemble: Spoon salmon roe onto one half of each cracker. Layer the avocado ribbons on the other half. Top with a few fresh arugula leaves and serve immediately.

Bon Appétit!
