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.

Tips:
- Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results. Look for cucumbers that are firm and crisp, and smoked salmon that is moist and flavorful.
- Prepare the cucumbers properly: To prevent the cucumber bites from becoming watery, use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the cucumbers very thinly. You can also use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin strips.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the cucumber bites, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- Serve immediately: Smoked salmon cucumber bites are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the cucumbers are still crispy and the smoked salmon is still moist.
Conclusion:
Smoked salmon cucumber bites are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and refreshing, and they can be made in just a few minutes. With their beautiful presentation and delicious flavor, these cucumber bites are sure to impress your guests.
