Smoked salmon cucumber bites are the perfect easy appetizer recipe for a party. Smoked salmon is mixed with capers, finely diced red onions, and dijon mustard and stuffed into a seeded cucumber slice.

Ingredients

  • 2 large English cucumbers
  • 1/4 lb smoked salmon, chopped
  • 3 Tbsp red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp capers, drained
  • pinch black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp e.v. olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 3 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped optional as garnish

Instructions

  • Slice cucumbers in 1/2" thick rounds (should have ~ 18 slices) and lay out on a platter.  If there are a lot of seeds, you can scoop out a little divot in the cuke, so the mixture stays contained better & doesn't become watery.
  • Mix together all ingredients except cucumbers and parsley in a medium bowl.  Add salt to taste.  
  • Scoop 1 Tbsp (a small mound) on each of the cucumber pieces.  
  • Sprinkle with parsley garnish.  Happy Eating!  Beckie

Notes

  • Like lemon?  Squeeze a little fresh lemon over the top right before serving.  I would've put it in the recipe but the lemon juice dulls the pink salmon color, making it less appealing if it sits long.
  • Want it a little creamy?  Add some Greek yogurt or sour cream.
