Cucumber Cups with Dill Cream and Smoked Salmon
13
RuthE
"Classic combos are classic because the flavors go well together! Dill, cucumber, and smoked fish are combined with a bit of lemon to perk things up. Small pieces of smoked trout would be a good substitute for the salmon in this pretty, easy, no-cook hors d'oeuvre. Cucumber cups can be assembled and kept chilled in an airtight container 1 day ahead of time."

Substitute Boursin cheese and add a couple capers. Had this in England about ten years ago, and have been making it ever since.

I must have missed the boat with this recipe. Seems everyone who reviewed it, loved it. I thought it was nasty and threw it out.

I made this for a Christmas party and it went over very well. Even people who 'weren't sure' about it liked it after they gave it a try. I used the long English cucumber with little to no seeds...

A beautiful and delicious appetizer. The combination of textures and flavors is divine. Didn’t modify the recipe one bit. These will be a party regular for me from now on.

Easy, pretty and popular. I did substitute a garlic/chive cream cheese. I think draining and patting dry the cucumber is key. Thanks!
