Simply Salt Crackers Ingredients and Allergens
Ingredients
There are only three ingredients in this crispy snack cracker. Here is the complete list.
Ingredients:White Rice Flour, High Oleic Safflower Oil, Salt.
What is High Oleic Safflower Oil?
Safflowers bred to contain a higher content of monounsaturated fats are used to produce high oleic oil, which has a smoke point of up to 520ºF. As such, it is useful for cooking at higher temperatures. By comparison, unrefined safflower oil has a smoke point below 225ºF.
Allergens
According to the Good Thins packaging, the crackers may contain soy, sesame seed, and/or tree nuts.
Given that there are only three ingredients, this is presumably due to the crackers being manufactured in a facility that may also make other foods containing these ingredients.
Easy Appetizer Recipe Using Good Thins Simply Salt Crackers
No Cook Appetizer Recipe
This is a very simple recipe for smoked salmon on crackers. You can adjust the ingredients as you wish based on your own individual taste preferences.
Here are the ingredients:
Mix the cream cheese and flavored cheese spread. I recommend allowing the cheeses to come to room temperature first, which makes it really easy to mix. You can also use a tablespoon or more of cream to make it smoother.
Slice all the other ingredients very thin. Then stack it: cracker, cream cheese mixture, salmon, cucumber, tomato, red onion, dill, caper. Serve immediately.
You can refrigerate this dish for a little while before serving, but if it’s left for too long, the crackers will get a bit too soft.
