Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 120 grams smoked salmon
- 120 grams goat cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean towel.
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds, approximately 0.5 cm thick.
In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Finely chop the fresh dill and fold it into the goat cheese mixture.
Prepare the smoked salmon by cutting it into small strips, approximately 2-3 cm wide, so they can fit onto the cucumber slices.
Lay the cucumber slices flat on a serving platter, ensuring they do not overlap.
Spoon or pipe a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the goat cheese mixture onto the center of each cucumber slice.
Gently place a strip of smoked salmon on top of the goat cheese on each cucumber slice.
Garnish the top of each piece with a small sprig of dill or sprinkle extra chopped dill on top for presentation.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one hour before serving for the best freshness.
