CUCUMBER CUPS WITH DILL CREAM AND SMOKED SALMON



Cucumber Cups with Dill Cream and Smoked Salmon image

Classic combos are classic because the flavors go well together! Dill, cucumber, and smoked fish are combined with a bit of lemon to perk things up. Small pieces of smoked trout would be a good substitute for the salmon in this pretty, easy, no-cook hors d'oeuvre. Cucumber cups can be assembled and kept chilled in an airtight container 1 day ahead of time.
