    🛒 Ingredients

    • smoked salmon: either hot-smoked salmon or cold-smoked salmon.

    🔪 Instructions

    👍🏼Tip for making the best smoked salmon appetizer with cucumbers

    No matter which way 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!
