Avocado and Smoked Salmon Topped Rice Cakes
Issy Budd is a 17-year-old from London, UK.
A nutrient-dense fruit (fruit! who knew?), avocados are a great source of potassium and monounsaturated fats. You can often find me with an avocado in one hand, spoon in the other, tucking into one of these beauties and later looking guilty as my mum asks, “Where have all the avocados gone!?” Paired with lemon, cream cheese, and smoked salmon, it’s a match made in heaven.

Ingredients
