Ingredients
- 6 oz (170g) cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 large English cucumber
- 7 oz (200g) smoked salmon
- fresh dill to decorate
Instructions
- Combine cream cheese with milk, finely chopped dill, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Peel the cucumber thinly (this is optional, I'm peeling the cucumber because I don't like the skin) and cut it into 1/3-inch (3/4 cm) slices (don't slice it too thick).
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cucumber slices with a knife.
- Top with smoked salmon pieces - I cut the salmon into strips and rolled them up.
- Decorate with small twigs of dill.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- This appetizer can not be made ahead - the cucumbers will release water and lose their crunch. You can make the cream cheese mixture ahead and store it in the fridge.
- Calories = 1 appetizer (1/29 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
