Description
Quick and tasty Cucumber Smoked Salmon Bites are the perfect entertaining no cook appetizer. Cool and fresh cucumber slices topped with herb cream cheese and thinly sliced smoked salmon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cucumber (cut into 1/2 inch slices (approximately 16 slices))
- 4 oz smoked salmon (cut into small pieces)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1 spring onion (finely minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, spring onion, fresh chopped chives, lemon juice, lemon zest and black pepper. Stir well to combine and set aside.
- Step 2: Pat dry the cucumber slices and lay out on a plate or a tray. Spread a small amount of the cream cheese mixture over each cucumber slice. Top with a small piece of smoked salmon.
- Step 3: Sprinkle over a little extra black cracked pepper. Garnish with extra chives if desired and drizzle over a little lemon juice. Serve cold.
Notes
The cream cheese filling can be prepared the day before. Cut cucumber slices at least 1/2 inch thick and pat them completely dry to prevent them from becoming soggy. Use a sharp knife to cut the delicate smoked salmon. These can be prepared up to 2 hours before serving; keep refrigerated and garnish just before serving.
