Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large English cucumbers
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 8 oz smoked salmon cut into small pieces
  • Fresh dill sprigs for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Capers for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Slice cucumbers into ½-inch thick rounds. If they're really watery, pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  3. Spread or pipe about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber round.
  4. Top each round with a small piece of smoked salmon, folding it to create a little ruffle effect.
  5. Garnish with a tiny sprig of fresh dill and a caper if using. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
