Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)

1 ripe avocado, mashed

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt and black pepper to taste

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Rice cake rounds (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: If you're using store-bought rice cakes, select your preferred variety (plain or flavored). If you'd like to make your own, blend cooked rice with a little water, form into small rounds, and bake until firm.

    Make the Avocado Spread: In a medium bowl, combine the mashed avocado, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

      Prepare the Tomato Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro or parsley. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.

        Assemble the Rice Cakes: Place the rice cakes on a serving platter. Spoon a generous amount of the creamy avocado mixture onto each rice cake, spreading it out evenly.

          Top with Tomatoes: Add a spoonful of the tomato mixture on top of the avocado spread for extra flavor and freshness.

            Finishing Touches: If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of each rice cake for a savory kick. Drizzle with a little additional olive oil for added richness.

              Serve: Enjoy your avocado and tomato rice cakes immediately as a light lunch, snack, or appetizer.
