Arugula Cracker Appetizers!

vegan melba snack

In 2013, Jammer and I took an oath and declared no more potato chips in our household! Unfortunately, we could not eat these tasty round snacks in moderation. This new commitment provided a new challenge: what do we snack with these days? We tried toast, crackers, oatmeal, and a variety of carbohydrates that just did not fill the void. Until now! Inspired by the kitchn, I decided to play around with Melba Toast, and a new and healthy snack was made.

Directions: 

  • Place Melba Toast, preferably the sea salt version, on a plate. Lightly cover each piece of toast with cream cheese. We like to use Trader Joe’s vegan cream cheese, since we are flexitarian.
  • Chop arugula and onions. Preferably with herb scissors. Place on top of the cream cheese covered toast.
  • Lightly season with rosemary, kosher salt,  and white pepper. Then, lightly drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Enjoy!
