Author Notes
This a party bite that I make, knowing I will be in the slim minority of party goers that actually like smoked salmon. So, while the chips and salsa draws a crowd, you'll find me, hovering over this platter, feasting on fresh cucumber cups stuffed with the bright, clean flavors of salmon, red onion, horseradish, fresh dill, Greek yogurt and lemon. —foxeslovelemons
Ingredients
-
1
English cucumber
-
Kosher salt
-
2 ounces
smoked salmon, finely chopped
-
2-1/2 tablespoons
Greek yogurt
-
1 tablespoon
minced red onion
-
2 teaspoons
fresh lemon juice
-
2 teaspoons
finely chopped fresh dill
-
1-1/2 teaspoons
horseradish
-
1/2 teaspoon
grated lemon zest
-
1/4 teaspoon
fresh ground black pepper
Directions
-
With a vegetable peeler, peel cucumber until no dark green skin remains. Cut off ends of cucumber, then cut cucumber crosswise into 10 pieces. Using a small melon baller or spoon, or the tip of the vegetable peeler, scoop out inside of each piece to form a cup, leaving a 1/4-inch border around edges and on the bottom. Lightly sprinkle cucumber cups with salt, then place, cup side down, on paper-towel lined baking sheet for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together remaining ingredients.
-
Using a small spoon, fill cucumber cups with salmon mixture. Serve immediately.
