Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber

4 oz smoked salmon, sliced

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

1 tsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Capers, for garnish (optional)

Fresh lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Start by washing the cucumber and slicing it into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Set aside.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and creamy.

      Take a cucumber slice and spread a generous teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on top.

        Place a slice of smoked salmon over the cream cheese, allowing it to drape slightly over the edges.

          Garnish the bites with a small caper (if using) and a sprinkle of additional dill for added flavor and presentation.

            Repeat the process for the remaining cucumber slices until all ingredients are used.

              Arrange the finished cucumber smoked salmon bites on a serving platter and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
