Smoked Salmon & Cucumber Appetizer
I make a lot of smoked salmon appetizers, especially in the summer, and another go-to for us is Smoked Salmon Spread with fresh slice baguettes. But an occasion came up where I needed an appetizer that was gluten and dairy free. So I eliminated the cream cheese and built a recipe based on my Quick Aioli recipe. Click on the words Quick Aioli in the recipe to get to that recipe. This recipe received many compliments, and thus it earned a place on the website. It’s not difficult to make, but the assembly takes a little time.
