Ingredients
Smoked salmon slices
Cream cheese or herbed cheese spread
Fresh cucumber slices, crackers, or baguette slices (toasted)
Fresh dill or chopped chives (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the base: slice cucumber into rounds or cut and lightly toast baguette slices.
- Spread a thin layer of cream cheese or herbed cheese on each base.
- Cut smoked salmon into bite-sized strips and place over the cheese.
- Garnish with dill sprigs or chopped chives.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
Notes
- Use goat cheese or whipped ricotta as a flavorful alternative to cream cheese.
- Add a slice of avocado for extra creaminess.
- Use crackers for crunch or cucumber for a fresh, low-carb base.
- For a spicy twist, add a dash of black pepper or horseradish cream.
- Best served fresh; if prepping ahead, wait to add salmon and herbs until just before serving.
