Good to know

Chef's tip

Add a few drops of lemon juice for an even more pronounced touch of freshness 🍋. You can also vary the toppings by adding radishes, cucumber, or even olives for a more Mediterranean version 🥒!

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Unsuitable. The texture of the rice cakes, spinach, and tomatoes does not hold up to freezing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Rice cakes soften quickly from the moisture in the hummus. Not recommended. Prepare the ingredients separately and assemble just before serving.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

The rice cakes soften. Assemble the separately prepared components just before eating.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Cold dish. Does not need reheating.

Variations

Add pine nuts instead of the sesame seeds.
Swap the spinach for arugula.
Serve on corn cakes.

Mistakes to avoid

Preparing ahead: assemble at the last minute to keep the crunch.
Spreading the hummus too thin: spread a generous layer.
Forgetting the seasoning: add a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and sesame seeds.
