Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the cucumber thoroughly.
- Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Aim for uniformly sized slices for a better presentation and balance of flavors.
- Take the goat cheese out of the refrigerator to soften slightly, making it easier to spread.
- If the goat cheese is too firm, use a small bowl and a fork to gently mash it until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- Lay out the cucumber slices on a clean serving platter or cutting board.
- Use a small butterknife or a spreader to place a dollop of goat cheese onto each cucumber slice. Gently spread the cheese to cover most of the surface.
- Cut the smoked salmon into small, bite-sized pieces that will fit nicely on top of the cucumber slices.
- Place a piece of smoked salmon on top of the goat cheese on each cucumber slice.
- For added flavor and presentation, you can garnish each bite with a small sprig of fresh dill, a caper, or a tiny sprinkle of black pepper or lemon zest.
- Arrange the assembled bites on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving to keep them fresh and cool.
Tips:
- Use a mandoline slicer to get even, thin slices of cucumber.
- Let the goat cheese come to room temperature for easier spreading.
- For added flavor, sprinkle some fresh dill or a squeeze of lemon juice on top.
- If you have time, chill the prepared bites in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
With just a few simple ingredients and minimal preparation, you've created a stunning and tasty appetizer that will wow your guests. These Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese, and Cucumber Bites are not only delicious but also a healthy option for any occasion. Enjoy your culinary creation!
