Cucumber Cups with Dill Cream and Smoked Salmon
14
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."

- 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.

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 did not make changes. They turned out beautifully. All were eaten and enjoyed by my guests, with many “Yums”. Healthy to boot.

Delicious appetizers. Made with lactose free cream cheese and bit of sour cream. Could have cut cucumbers a bit thinner. Used hot house cucumbers with soft skins, could have used Persian or Arme...

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...

I made it with strained greek yoghurt because my husband is lactose intolerant and kept everything else the same. It was great and very easy. Will keep this recipe active
