Cucumber Chips

Method
Preparing the Cucumber Chips
- 1
- 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
- 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.
- 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.

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.
