Cucumber Chips

Topping

Method

Preparing the Cucumber Chips

  1. 1

    Slice the Cucumber

    Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it into 1/4 inch thick rounds. You can use a knife or a mandoline for even slices.

  2. 2

    Salt the Cucumber

    Place the cucumber slices on a paper towel or a clean kitchen towel. Sprinkle salt on both sides of the slices and let them sit for about 15 minutes. This will help draw out excess moisture.

Preparing the Topping

  1. 3

    Mix the Cream Cheese

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Smoked Salmon

    Take the smoked salmon and tear it into smaller pieces or leave it in larger slices, depending on your preference.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Chips

    After the cucumber slices have rested and released some moisture, pat them dry with a paper towel. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on each cucumber slice. Top with pieces of smoked salmon and a few capers.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve Immediately

    Arrange the assembled cucumber chips on a serving platter. Garnish with extra dill if desired and serve immediately for the best texture.
