Cucumber Slices With Smoked Salmon And Avocado Cream Recipes

SMOKED SALMON, AVOCADO AND CUCUMBER BITES

Steps:

• Slice the cucumber approximately 1/4-inch thick and lay flat on a serving plate.
• Add the avocado and lime juice to a bowl and use a fork to mash until creamy.
• Assemble the bites by spreading a small amount of avocado on each cucumber, then topping with a thin slice of smoked salmon.
• Garnish each bite with finely chopped chives and cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.

CUCUMBER CUPS WITH DILL CREAM AND SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Trim ends from cucumbers and cut crosswise into 24 (3/4-inch-thick) rounds. Scoop a 1/2-inch-deep depression from one side of each round with a small melon-baller, forming little cups. Drain cucumbers, cup sides down, on paper towels for 15 minutes.
• Beat cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper together in a bowl. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon cheese mixture into each cucumber cup. Top each cup with 1 salmon strip and 1 dill sprig.
