CUCUMBER CUPS WITH DILL CREAM AND SMOKED SALMON
Classic combos are classic because the flavors go well together! Dill, cucumber, and smoked fish are combined with a bit of lemon to perk things up. Small pieces of smoked trout would be a good substitute for the salmon in this pretty, easy, no-cook hors d'oeuvre. Cucumber cups can be assembled and kept chilled in an airtight container 1 day ahead of time.

- Combine sugar, vinegar, water and salt and bring to a boil.
- Pour over cucumbers.
- Stir to coat.
- Cover and refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are slightly soft when pressed gently. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too soft, as they may not have the right texture or flavor.
- Use good quality smoked salmon: Opt for smoked salmon that is firm and has a vibrant color. Avoid salmon that appears dry or has an off smell.
- Make sure the cucumber slices are thin and even: This will help them roll up easily and evenly.
- Chill the cucumber slices before assembling the rolls: This will help them stay crisp and refreshing.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the avocado: This will help prevent the avocado from becoming bruised or mashed.
- Don't overfill the cucumber slices: Too much filling will make the rolls difficult to roll up and may cause them to fall apart.
- Serve the rolls immediately: This is when they are at their best, with the cucumber slices still crisp and the avocado still creamy.

Cucumber slices with smoked salmon and avocado cream are a delicious and refreshing appetizer or light lunch option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
