If you’re looking for a healthy, tasty and easy appetizer, this should be your new go to recipe. This comes together in minutes and can be served as an actual spread with crackers or as a dip. However, if you’re feeling “fancy” and looking to impress a bit, you could use it in cucumber cups, as shown in the photo above. They make a great presentation, they’re an easy, no mess, finger food and are definitely a healthy, low carb option.

INGREDIENTS
1/4 – 1/2 lb. smoked salmon, chopped
2 Tbs. grated onion or finely chopped
1 1/2 Tbs. fresh dill, chopped
2 Tbs. sour cream
1 Tbs. plain greek yogurt
1 Tbs. capers
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
fresh ground pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS
Combine all ingredients, mix well and serve with pumpernickel squares, crackers or some nice crunchy crostini.

CUCUMBER CUPS
1-2 English cucumbers
Cut the cucumber into 1″ pieces, then, using a melon baller (a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon works well too) , scoop out the center of the cucumber to form a ‘cup’ for the salmon. Lightly salt the cucumber cups and turn upside down on a paper towel for 10-15 minutes. Finally, when fully drained, fill the ‘cups’ with the salmon spread, arrange on your platter and serve with a little garnish of dill fronds.
