Fresh, Light, and Built to Impress
These cucumber cups with smoked salmon dip are the perfect bite-sized appetizer—fresh, light, and packed with flavor.
Finished with Surfs Up, they bring a bright, coastal note that pairs perfectly with rich smoked salmon and keeps things balanced.
Preparation:
- Peel the cucumber completely and slice into 1-inch rounds.
- Using a melon baller, scoop out the center of each slice, leaving the bottom intact to form a cup.
- In a food processor, combine remaining ingredients and pulse until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon or pipe the smoked salmon mixture into each cucumber cup.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Pro Tip:
Use a piping bag with a star tip for a clean, elevated presentation—this makes a big visual difference for very little effort.
Make It Your Own:
- Add capers for extra briny flavor
- Finish with fresh dill or chives
- Add a squeeze of lemon for brightness
- Swap smoked salmon for crab or shrimp
What To Serve It With:
