Ingredients
- 1 medium cucumber, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 4 ounces smoked salmon, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Slice the cucumber: Wash and dry the cucumber thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, slice the cucumber into even 1/4-inch thick rounds, making sure they are sturdy enough to hold the toppings without breaking.
- Prepare the smoked salmon and cream cheese: Cut the smoked salmon into small bite-sized pieces. Soften the cream cheese to make it easier to spread or dollop onto the cucumber slices.
- Assemble the bites: Spread or dollop a small amount of cream cheese on each cucumber slice. Top with a piece of smoked salmon, pressing gently to secure the salmon in place.
- Serve: Arrange the cucumber smoked salmon bites on a platter. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled appetizer.
Notes
- For extra flavor, garnish with fresh dill, capers, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
- The cream cheese can be substituted with a dairy-free spread for a lactose-free option.
- Try using flavored cream cheeses such as herb or chive for added taste variations.
- These bites are best eaten fresh to maintain the crispness of the cucumber.
