- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder

How To Make Low Carb Keto moked Salmon Cucumber Bites
- Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mash together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and garlic powder. Stir in the fresh dill.
- Fill a piping bag: Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag (or use a zip-lock bag and snip off the corner).
- Arrange the cucumbers: Lay the cucumber slices in a single layer on a platter.
- Pipe the filling: Pipe about 1/2 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice.
- Add the smoked salmon: Top each cucumber bite with a folded-over piece of smoked salmon.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with extra dill if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Use fresh cucumber: Choose firm cucumbers for the best crunch. Avoid soft or watery ones, as they won’t hold the filling well.
- Soften the cream cheese: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before mixing to make it smooth and easy to pipe.
- Pat the cucumber slices dry: Dab them with a paper towel before assembling to prevent the filling from sliding off.
- Chill before serving: Let the bites sit in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before serving to help the flavors blend and keep them fresh.
- Cut salmon into small pieces: Avoid large chunks; smaller, neatly folded pieces make the bites easier to eat and look more elegant.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Place the leftover smoked salmon cucumber bites in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. For the best texture, enjoy them fresh, as cucumbers can become watery over time.
