This 5-minute, no-cook recipe is a great take-off of the traditional lox and bagels with a fraction of the calories. The crispy rice cake takes the bagel's place and adds a lightness to the entire meal. The smoked salmon has a deep smokey flavour that works so well on top of the smooth cream cheese. The crunch and coolness of the cucumbers, tart hit of dill, and slight spice of the shallots make every bite of this recipe a dynamic and flavourful experience. Take this along for a portable breakfast or switch up your lunch routine with this simple dish. Making more for a crowd takes a few extra minutes and comes together just as easily.
