This Smoked Salmon Cucumber Appetizer is a light and refreshing bite-sized dish perfect for entertaining. Thinly sliced strips of seedless English cucumber are filled with a creamy blend of goat cheese, Greek yogurt, and chopped smoked salmon, then rolled up and garnished with extra smoked salmon pieces and chives. It’s an elegant, no-cook appetizer combining fresh, tangy, and savory flavors with a delightful texture.

Ingredients

Appetizer Ingredients

  • 1 English cucumber, seedless, thinly sliced into strips
  • 1 (5 ounce) package goat cheese
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 (4-6 ounce) small package smoked salmon
  • 1 teaspoon chives, minced or dried

Instructions

  1. Slice the cucumber: Use a slicer or a sharp knife to thinly slice the English cucumber lengthwise into long, thin strips ideal for rolling.
  2. Prepare the smoked salmon: Chop the smoked salmon into small chunks, reserving about 8 small pieces to garnish the top of the cucumber roll-ups later.
  3. Make the cheese mixture: In a bowl, combine the goat cheese, Greek yogurt, chopped salmon, and ½ teaspoon of minced chives until well blended and creamy.
  4. Assemble the roll-ups: Lay out a cucumber strip flat, spread a thin layer of the cheese and salmon mixture down the center of each strip.
  5. Roll and secure: Carefully roll the cucumber strip around the filling and secure each roll with a toothpick to hold it together.
  6. Garnish and serve: Place a reserved piece of smoked salmon on top of each roll-up and sprinkle with additional chives for a delicate finishing touch.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream cheese for goat cheese if you prefer a milder flavor.
  • For a firmer cucumber strip, chill the cucumber before slicing.
  • Use fresh chives if available for better flavor.
  • These appetizers are best served fresh but can be made up to a few hours ahead and refrigerated.
