Ingredients:

  • 3 large cucumbers
  • dill , to taste
  • chives , to taste
  • salt , to taste
  • pepper , to taste
  • additional smoked salmon

Directions:

  1. Peel cucumber. (Nota Bene: For a visual effect, use different peeling techniques - my favorite: use zester to peel the cucumber, cut at intervals around the cucumber, then slice. Save peelings to garnish the serving plate.).
  2. Slice to taste. (Nota Bene: Your choice of slicing will affect the flavor greatly, in my opinion, so cut different sizes and sample for yourself! If you use thicker slices, take a small spoon out of the top in order to give a nice place to secure topping.).
  3. Arrange cucumbers for service and salt/pepper lightly to taste.
  4. Blend or fold salmon and cream cheese. (Nota Bene: reserve some bits of salmon for garnish atop each.).
  5. Add chives, dill, salt and pepper to taste. (Nota Bene: For visual effect, I recommend blending salt only into mixture, adding pepper atop plain cucumber instead, then sprinkling dill and chives on top. Also try sprinkling dill, then adorning each with small torn pieces of smoked salmon and then adding chives atop.).
  6. Dollop desired amount atop each cucumber slice. (Nota Bene: use icing bags with decorative tips to create lovely dollops.).
