Can you believe today is the last day of the 40th week of 2020? 12 weeks left of healthy snacks… what would you like to see for 2021? 😀
So you know that awkward time in the afternoon when you’re hungry but don’t want to ruin your appetite for dinner? It hit us today. Trying to find the delicate balance between satiation and overindulgence. I think I nailed it! These really hit the spot. They are packed full of flavor with the smoked salmon and hint of lemon. My favorite were the ones with both olives and sweet cherry peppers on top!
Smoked Salmon Cucumber Bites
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 1 cucumber
- 1 5-ounce container of unsweetened Greek or Icelandic yogurt (i used lemon noosa)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- Sweet cherry peppers, olives, and/or capers
- optional – fresh herbs (dill, basil, cilantro)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch slices.
- Optional: Place the yogurt in a coffee filter over a small jar for one hour to allow the liquid to drain. (I only had patience for however long it took me to cut up my vegetables haha)
- Mix 1 teaspoon of lemon zest into the yogurt (you can also use crème fraiche)
- Top each appetizer with a small dollop of the yogurt, smoked salmon, and your choice of sweet cherry peppers, olives, capers, and herbs.
- Best assembled within a few hours of serving. Store in the refrigerator until 10 minutes before serving.
