These little cucumber and smoked salmon appetizer bites are as delicious as they are pretty. They make a perfect light start to a dinner and are a hit at any party. And don't worry, assembling them is much easier (and faster) than it looks.

Cucumber Smoked Salmon Appetizer Bites with Lemon Dill Cream Cheese

cream cheese (do not use light cream cheese)

Greek yogurt

lemon

lemon juice

dill

garlic

sea salt

mini cucumbers, sliced

salmon (lox)

Dill and fresh cracked pepper, to garnish

Add all of the lemon dill cream cheese ingredients to a medium-sized bowl. Use electric beaters to whip together. Transfer the cream cheese to a piping bag fitted with a star attachment, or use a small resealable plastic bag and cut off the tip.

Lay the cucumber slices out on a serving tray. Roll small strips of the smoked salmon and place them on top of the cucumber slices. Pipe the cream cheese on top of the salmon and garnish with a little fresh dill and fresh cracked pepper.

Followed recipe cumcumber slices were a bit too thick. Good flavor nice presentation.

This recipe is amazing Kristen! I treated myself to my favorite lox from Costco the other day and started googling recipes and came across yours. I was looking for one without bread pairing with for a change up.

In my veggie drawer, I had a couple of small cucumbers so I removed the seeds and made the smoked salmon cucumber boats. I had plain, vegan yogurt in my fridge so I used that instead of Greek yogurt with the whipped cream cheese. Squeezed fresh lemon and used freeze dried dill with freshly ground pepper. 

Wow, just wow! The flavour exploded in my mouth. Light tasting -  which is great because the salmon can be rich and feel heavy with cream cheese and bread. 

This recipe will be a future staple for a beautiful appy for a gathering (*one day when the world opens up again) or for a very light summer dinner.

Thank you for sharing this simple, yet rather elegant eat. 

Stay healthy and safe.

I made these for my daughters bridal brunch. They were a hit. One lady commented “ I don’t like cucumber or salmon, but these are GOOD!”

Mini Cucumber Smoked Salmon Bites

These crunchy Mediterranean Cucumber Bites are a fun, healthy snack or app with creamy Mediterranean hummus, cherry tomatoes, feta crumbles, and fresh parsley.

Mediterranean Cucumber Bites (Easy Appetizer or Snack)

cucumber

Mediterranean hummus

cherry tomatoes (halved)

feta cheese ((dairy-free if vegan))

parsley

Wash and dry your cucumber. Slice your cucumber into half-inch slices. In this small batch recipe I used half the cucumber to create 9 slices of cucumber but you can create as many as you want. Dab each cucumber slice with a paper towel to absorb extra water (and avoid sogginess).

Spread out your cucumber rounds on a plate and top each cucumber slice with some Mediterranean hummus (1-2 tsp). Top with half a cherry tomato, sprinkle of feta cheese, and diced parsley.

Enjoy right away or store in the fridge for 1-2 hours.*These are best enjoyed right away, if possible - this is not an app you want to prep the day before because it will get soggy the longer it sits!
