A simple elegant appetizer , written as is from my local paper. Ingredients:

2 -3 ounces of thinly sliced smoked salmon |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
salt and pepper |
1/2 ripe avocado, peeled pitted and coarsely chopped |
3 tablespoons sour cream |

3 tablespoons chopped green onions, including green stems |
Directions:
1. Cut 18 rounds from cucumber (about 1/4 inch thick) and save any leftover for another use. Top each round with a thin slice of salmon cut to fit. Drizzle a little lemon juice over the salmon, then season with salt and pepper.
2. Place avocado, sour cream, 1 teaspoon pf lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a food processor and process until smooth and blended.
3. Garnish each cucumber slice with a dollop of avocado cream and sprinkle with green onions.
