Classic combos are classic because the flavors go well together! Dill, cucumber, and smoked fish are combined with a bit of lemon to perk things up. Small pieces of smoked trout would be a good substitute for the salmon in this pretty, easy, no-cook hors d'oeuvre. Cucumber cups can be assembled and kept chilled in an airtight container 1 day ahead of time.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Trim ends from cucumbers and cut crosswise into 24 (3/4-inch-thick) rounds.

Scoop a 1/2-inch-deep depression from one side of each round with a small melon-baller, forming little cups.

Drain cucumbers, cup sides down, on paper towels for 15 minutes.

Beat cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper together in a bowl.

Spoon 1/2 teaspoon cheese mixture into each cucumber cup.

Top each cup with 1 salmon strip and 1 dill sprig.
