Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Cucumber Bites

Prep: 10 mins

Total: 10 mins

Yield 40 bites

Ingredients

• 2 English Cucumbers, peeled and cut into 1″ rounds
• 1 pound smoked salmon, cut into bite sized pieces
• (1) 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Horseradish (more or less to taste)
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream, optional
• Toothpicks or tiny party forks

Instructions

1. Peel cucumbers and slice them into 1″ circles. Arrange on a platter as desired. Place in the refrigerator while preparing the cream cheese.
2. Place cream cheese, dill, horseradish, and cream in a large bowl. Beat until well combined (a handheld mixer really helps here.)
3. Spread 1 teaspoon of cream cheese on top each cucumber slice (more or less to taste), then top each slice with a bite sized piece of smoked salmon. Insert a toothpick down the center to keep in place.
4. Serve at once, or keep in the refrigerator until needed.

Notes

• I recommend making these as close to the serving time as possible

Enjoy!
