Smoked Salmon Cucumber Appies

Here’s an easy finger food, made with cucumber, lemon-dill cream cheese and smoked salmon. Ready in less than 10 minutes! Keto-friendly.

Question: What to make when you’re pressed for time and need a quick pre-dinner finger food? Answer: these Smoked Salmon Cucumber Appies.

They’re fresh, crisp and flavourful, everyone loves them and they’re suitable for a keto diet.

Simply slice a Long English cucumber into rounds, scoop out a small amount of the seeds in the center of each, add a dollop of cream cheese flavoured with lemon and dill and top it off with a tiny slice of smoked salmon. Done.

Change it up!

Get your creative juices flowing and switch this recipe up. Add a little horseradish to the cream cheese instead of the lemon and dill. Or chives. Or lemon and garlic. How about a tiny caper on each?

How ever you choose to serve these, do serve them immediately or within a few hours. I made the mistake recently of preparing them a day in advance, but the cucumbers became a little weepy and lost their crunch. Fresh is always best!
