I got creative with this recipe and added some chopped walnuts to the cream cheese mixture. The walnuts added a nice crunch and extra flavor to the canapés.

I made a few modifications to this recipe to make it healthier. I used low-fat cream cheese and whole wheat crackers. The canapés were still delicious and they were a great way to sneak some extra cilantro into my diet.
