Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 large English cucumber
  • 4 oz thinly sliced smoked salmon
  • 2 tbsp capers, drained

Method
 

  1. Stir together the cream cheese, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Slice the cucumber into 24 rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Blot each round dry with a paper towel.
  3. Spoon or pipe about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber round. Add a small fold of smoked salmon and a few capers to each.
  4. Serve right away, or chill for up to 1 hour before serving.

Notes

The bites hold best when assembled no more than an hour ahead. If you need more lead time, slice the cucumber, blot the rounds, and make the cream cheese spread the night before. Assemble just before your guests arrive.
