Low FODMAP Rice Cakes with Toppings Ingredients

• 4 whole brown rice cakes
• 1/4 cup lactose-free cream cheese
• 4 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked

How To Make Low FODMAP Rice Cakes with Toppings

1. Prepare the base by laying your rice cakes out on a clean flat surface or serving plate.
2. Spread the cream cheese evenly across the top of each rice cake using a small spatula or butter knife.
3. Layer the toppings by placing the cucumber slices down first followed by the folded ribbons of smoked salmon.
4. Garnish the cakes with a sprinkle of fresh dill and a pinch of black pepper before serving immediately.

Recipe Tips

• Choose plain or lightly salted rice cakes to ensure there are no hidden high-FODMAP seasonings like garlic or onion powder.
• Slice your cucumbers very thinly so they stay in place and don’t make the rice cake feel too heavy.
• Use fresh dill rather than dried for a brighter, more aromatic flavor profile that complements the salmon.
• Pat the cucumber slices dry with a paper towel before adding them to prevent the rice cake from getting soggy.

What To Serve With Rice Cakes

Serve these with a side of sourdough toast for extra crunch. Add a handful of fresh arugula for a peppery bite. Pair it with a glass of iced peppermint tea.

How To Store Rice Cakes Leftovers

These are best enjoyed immediately to maintain the crunch of the rice cake. If you have leftover toppings, store the salmon and cucumber in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to two days.
