Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 English cucumber large (about 14 ounces), cut into 24 rounds about 1/2 inch thick
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp dill chopped fresh
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper
  • 4 oz cold-smoked salmon cut into 24 small pieces

Method
 

  1. Pat the cucumber rounds dry with paper towels.
  2. Arrange the cucumber rounds on a serving platter.
  3. Stir the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, dill, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
  4. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber round.
  5. Top each cucumber round with a piece of smoked salmon.

Notes

For the neatest bites, pat the cucumber rounds thoroughly dry before topping. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-free variation, use dairy-free cream cheese and sour cream.
