Salmon-CUCUMBER Bites (updated)

I originally posted this recipe on my blog in March 2020...see it here -  salmon-cucumber-bites.html. 

​When I wrote the original post, I literally went off my memory and notes I took from my cousin.  Well...I was lucky enough to get that same cousin to show me how it's ACTUALLY done!  There were a couple steps I missed but, still, both versions tasted pretty good.  Check out my YouTube video here:  

Prep Time: 20 Mins
Cook Time: None

​INGREDIENTS:

• Cucumber Smoked Salmon (Trader Joe's)
• Chives or original cream cheese (fluffy but regular works too)
• Black caviar (Fred Meyers is the MOST economical)
• Capers Dill (or any herbs work well...chives, green onion, etc.)

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Cut 1" slices of cucumber (​blot tops of cucumber slices with a paper towel to get rid of excess moisture)
  
• Cut smoked salmon in strips
  
• Spread regular cream cheese on cucumber slices
  
• Place salmon on top of slices (folded looks pretty)
  
• Top salmon with your choice of capers, caviar, dill...a dollop of fluffy cream cheese gives these something to stick to!

I hope you're able to try this yummy recipe out - whether you serve this as a dinner appetizer or hor d'oeuvres at a party, it is guaranteed to be a party fave!

Let me know what you think - I'd LOVE to know!
