Cucumber Slices With Smoked Salmon And Avocado Cream Recipes

Steps:

• With a fork, score cucumber peel lengthwise; cut into 1/4-in. slices. Pipe or spread cream cheese onto each slice; top with salmon. Sprinkle with chives. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Trim ends from cucumbers and cut crosswise into 24 (3/4-inch-thick) rounds. Scoop a 1/2-inch-deep depression from one side of each round with a small melon-baller, forming little cups. Drain cucumbers, cup sides down, on paper towels for 15 minutes.
• Beat cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper together in a bowl. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon cheese mixture into each cucumber cup. Top each cup with 1 salmon strip and 1 dill sprig.

Steps:

• Cut 18 rounds from cucumber (about 1/4 inch thick) and save any leftover for another use. Top each round with a thin slice of salmon cut to fit. Drizzle a little lemon juice over the salmon, then season with salt and pepper.
• Place avocado, sour cream, 1 teaspoon pf lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a food processor and process until smooth and blended.
• Garnish each cucumber slice with a dollop of avocado cream and sprinkle with green onions.

Steps:

• Partially peel cucumber horizontally (so that some dark green still shows), then slice into 20 @ 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lay on paper towels.
• Arrange slices of smoked salmon on top of the cucumber slices, cutting salmon to fit.
• Drizzle salmon with lemon juice and lightly sprinkle with pepper.
• In a small bowl whip together the cream cheese, fresh dill, fresh chives, pepper, and wasabi powder.
• Top salmon with wasabi cream, and garnish with fresh dill.

Steps:

• Combine first 6 ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring so the sugar dissolves.
• Turn off heat and set aside for about 5 minutes.
• Slice vegetables and place in large mixing bowl.
• Pour vinegar mixture over veggies and toss a bit.
• Layer in a large flat dish (I use my Pyrex 13 by 9 pan) that has a tight fiting lid.
• Refrigerate, covered, for at least one whole day (but a couple days is even better).
• Stir every 6 hours or so to be sure all cucumbers get marinaded.
• Serve chilled as a salad or as a delicious edible garnish.

Steps:

• In a bowl toss together the cucumbers, onion, if using, and dill.
• Combine sugar, vinegar, water and salt and bring to a boil.
• Pour over cucumbers.
• Stir to coat.
• Cover and refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the cucumber slices, onions, and green peppers.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the salt, celery seed, vinegar and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Allow the mixture to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Combine the mixture in the mixing bowl with the mixture in the saucepan. Pack into sterile jars and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, milk, sugar, and vinegar until smooth. Place cucumber slices in the bowl, and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Chill 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.
