Notes

Feel free to swap out the rice cakes for whole grain pita chips for a different texture.
If you don't have labneh on hand, strained yogurt can be used as a tasty alternative.
Be creative with the herbs; dill or basil would also work beautifully in this dish!
The snack can be prepared ahead of time; just store the labneh and veggies separately in the refrigerator for up to a day, and assemble when ready to serve. Enjoy!
