Sometimes I forget how much I love smoked salmon. Here’s one of my favorite ways to eat it besides on a bagel is (that’s my first choice!). What we have above is a thick slice of cucumber with a dab of creme fraiche and a little sliver of smoked salmon on top. That’s it! If you want some variations, how about adding fresh dill, a few capers or a small sliver of red onion? Cream cheese is just as good if you don’t have creme fraiche hanging out in your fridge (I rarely do!). I added a little sriracha to the top of these beauties when no one was looking… It makes a perfect “appetizer” and could easily turn into dinner if you feel so inclined.

Cucumber Salmon Bites
Yum! I love smoked salmon!! Also, cucumbers are the perfect base – I love adding hummus on top of my cucumbers with a lil bit of Harissa for that kick! So tasty 🙂
http://youtube.com/addalittlefoodI forget about smoked salmon all the times. I think about once every three months I pick some up and we love it! This is a great little snack. I think I shall pick some up this weekend.

I love adding tuna/mayo on top of cucumber… I’ll have to try this smoked salmon version! Also, if you hollow out a cucumber and remove the seeds, then cut it into 1-inch pieces, you can stuff the cucumber with smoked salmon cream cheese or tuna/mayo then add a cherry tomato on top.. so good and so easy!

OMG looks DIVINE. And a more calorie-friendly way to stuff cream cheese and smoked salmon in my face…thanks, Tracy!!

This is one of my favorite snacks! Sometimes I mix chopped green onions into the cream cheese/creme fraiche, or drizzle balsamic on the salmon. MMM!

I was looking for something simple for a Summer Solstice party this past weekend. I needed things that required no cooking and used summer fruits and veggies (to go along with the theme). These were a PERFECT addition to the menu! Easy and de-LISH! Thank you, Tracy!
