Ingredients

• 2 oz Smoked salmon
• 1/2 Cucumber
• 2 tbsp Cream cheese
• 1 tsp Dill
• 1/2 tsp Lemon zest

Steps

1. Slice 1/2 cucumber into 6 thick coins, about 1/2 inch each, and pat them dry. Thick, dry rounds keep the toppings from sliding off.
2. Arrange the cucumber coins on a plate or small serving board.
3. Let 2 tbsp cream cheese sit out 5 minutes to soften, then dollop it across the coins. Softened cheese spreads without dragging.
4. Tear 2 oz smoked salmon into 6 pieces and drape a piece over each coin in a loose fold -- the folded look is prettier and easier to eat than a flat slab.
5. Sprinkle with 1 tsp fresh dill and 1/2 tsp lemon zest, plus a crack of black pepper if you like.
6. Serve right away, or cover and chill up to 2 hours in the fridge. Do not assemble too far ahead, or the cucumber weeps water.
