Salmon Mimi Bites

Wasabi mayonnaise really sets off the smoked salmon in these rice-cracker treats. If desired, you can set out the spread, salmon, ginger and rice crackers separately and let your guests build their own.

1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 teaspoons wasabi paste or 2 teaspoons wasabi powder mixed with 1 tablespoon water (see Tip)
24 mini rice crackers
4-6 ounces smoked salmon, cut into 24 1-inch pieces
24 small pieces pickled ginger (see Tip)
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

1.Mix mayonnaise and wasabi paste (or reconstituted wasabi powder) in a small bowl.

2. Top each cracker with 1 piece salmon, 1/2 teaspoon wasabi mayonnaise, 1 piece pickled ginger and a sprinkling of lemon zest.
