- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dill (fresh)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions
Step 1
1. Wash the cucumber thoroughly and pat it dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
2. Slice the cucumber into 1-inch thick rounds. Using a melon baller or a small spoon, scoop out the center of each round to create a 'cup', leaving the bottom intact.

3. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Use a fork or spoon to mix until smooth.
Step 4
4. Chop the smoked salmon finely and stir it into the cream cheese mixture until evenly incorporated.
Step 5
5. Using a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off), fill each cucumber cup with the smoked salmon mixture.
Step 6
6. Garnish the top of each filled cucumber cup with a single caper and a small sprig of fresh dill for a decorative touch.
Step 7
7. Arrange the cucumber cups on a serving platter and serve chilled. Enjoy!
