Smoked Salmon on Cucumber Chips

Healthy and Delicious!

This was ridiculously easy and super fast to throw together!  Bright fresh flavors, perfect for a summer evening entertaining with friends.

Smoked Salmon on Cucumber Chips
The Chef In My Head

1 English cucumber, washed, and sliced on the diagonal
1 pkg sliced smoked salmon
Capers, rinsed and drained
1 pkg Laughing Cow Cheese, Garlic & Herb
Purple onion, small diced (optional)
Fresh dill sprigs (optional)

Spread about a teaspoon of softened cheese on one end and one side of cucumber slice, leaving a "handle" end to pick it up.  Top with smoked salmon and sprinkle with capers.  That's it, it's that easy!!

If not serving right away, it can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated.  Keep it good and cold until ready to serve!



Enjoy!
