Description
A simple finger food for a quick party.
Ingredients
- ½ whole Long (English) Cucumber (Peeled, Sliced)
- 5 ounces, weight Herbed Cream Cheese (More If Desired)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (Ground)
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (Ground Or Crushed)
- 1 ounce, weight Smoked Salmon, Sliced
- 1 whole Lemon, Juiced
- Lemon Slices, For Garnish
- Basil Leaves, For Garnish
Preparation
Prepare the slices of the cucumber, making 10 slices of an even thickness. I used a cookie cutter to cut each slice into a fun shape. Top each cucumber slice with about 1/2 ounces weight of cheese. Sprinkle some sweet and/or spicy ground paprika and the ground pepper over the top. Then top it with a small portion of the smoked salmon. Squeeze a drop of the lemon juice on top. Garnish with the lemon slices and the fresh basil leaves.
