Smoked Herring and Tomatoes on Crackers

A delicious summer appetizer not for the faint of heart, this snack balances several strong flavors.

Prep Time10

Course: Appetizer

Servings: 2

Ingredients

10 rice crackers
¼ cup garlic spread (see note)
1 large, very ripe tomato, preferably heirloom, sliced thick and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 6-ounce tin smoked herring, packed in oil
2 ounces fresh basil

Instructions

Assemble your snacks: Give each cracker a generous swipe of garlic spread, followed by a tomato slice, a piece of herring and a basil leaf. Enjoy!

Notes

I got my garlic spread at Trader Joe's, from the dip section. But it's simple to make your own. I found that the spread is very similar to a traditional Lebanese spread called toum. Bon Appetit has a great recipe for it.
