Ingredients

Directions

Form a cup in each cucumber slice by using a melon baller to scoop a 1/2-inch-deep depression from one side. Place cucumbers, scooped-sides down, onto paper towels to drain for 15 minutes.

Mix cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.

Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon cheese mixture into each cucumber cup. Top each cup with a salmon strip and a dill sprig.

Cook’s Note

You can use reduced-fat cream cheese if desired, and you can substitute smoked trout for smoked salmon.

These cucumber bites can be assembled up to 24 hours ahead of serving. Just keep them chilled in an airtight container until ready to serve.
