Recipe Of The Week 12/8: Smoked Salmon Cucumber Bites

Yields 16 Servings

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup chopped red onions, or scallions or chives
• 3/4 cup whipped cream cheese
• 2 teaspoons drained capers, chopped*
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped, plus more for garnish
• 12 ounces nova lox or smoked salmon, chopped
• 3 English cucumbers, ends trimmed

Directions:

• In a medium bowl combine red onion, cream cheese, capers, dill and lox.
• Peel cucumbers leaving strips of skin, then slice into 1/2 inch thick slices. With a melon baller scoop out a shallow pocket in the middle of the cucumber slices—do not cut all the way through the slice.
• Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the salmon mixture into each cup and transfer to a platter, garnish with more dill.
• Cucumber cups can be assembled up to 24 hours ahead of serving. Just keep them chilled in an airtight container until ready to serve
