Smoked Salmon, Avocado and Cucumber Bites
Description
This recipe layers thin cucumber rounds with a smooth, lime-tinged mashed avocado spread and topped with delicate smoked salmon slices. The cucumber provides a crisp base, while the avocado adds creaminess complemented by the smoky, savory flavor of the salmon. Chopped chives and freshly cracked black pepper elevate the bite with mild herbal notes and a touch of spice.
The assembly is straightforward, requiring no cooking; the cucumber is sliced about 1/4 inch thick. The avocado is mashed with lime juice to maintain freshness and prevent browning, then spread evenly before layering the salmon. Served immediately, these bites offer a refreshing texture contrast and balanced flavor profile suitable for light meals, hors d'oeuvres, or healthy snacks.
