Livened up the a dash of hot pepper sauce, these simple yet fancy smoked salmon and cream cheese cucumber bites are crunchy, creamy finger food perfection! You’re going to just love them!
For a quick and easy appetizer, you can’t beat these.
I love to host parties, but hate letting myself get overwhelmed with complicated, messy recipes that leave me frazzled and my kitchen a mess. Simple is much better. And the fact that these pretty little bites take less than 10 minutes makes them way attractive from a host perspective.
These are also great for any time of the year Easter, Mother’s Day, or a brunch party! For something different, you can add a little dash of lemon zest and fresh dill.
