- 120 grams goat cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds, approximately 0.5 cm thick.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Finely chop the fresh dill and fold it into the goat cheese mixture.
Step 5
Prepare the smoked salmon by cutting it into small strips, approximately 2-3 cm wide, so they can fit onto the cucumber slices.
Step 6
Lay the cucumber slices flat on a serving platter, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 7
Spoon or pipe a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the goat cheese mixture onto the center of each cucumber slice.
Step 8
Gently place a strip of smoked salmon on top of the goat cheese on each cucumber slice.
Step 9
Garnish the top of each piece with a small sprig of dill or sprinkle extra chopped dill on top for presentation.
Step 10
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one hour before serving for the best freshness.
