Oats Free Cucumber Rounds with Smoked Salmon
Crisp cucumber rounds topped with creamy avocado and silky smoked salmon make for one of those appetizers that looks far more impressive than the effort involved. The base is a thick slice of English cucumber, which gives you a satisfying crunch without any crackers or grain-based vehicles that could sneak in unwanted ingredients. That makes this a genuinely easy win for anyone navigating oat sensitivities, since every single component is naturally free of grains from start to finish. The avocado spread comes together in minutes — just mashed with bright lemon juice, olive oil, and fresh dill — and it acts as a rich, flavorful anchor for the wild-caught smoked salmon layered on top. Briny capers and an optional pinch of red pepper flakes round out the flavor with a little punch. Whether you're putting together a party platter or just treating yourself to something that feels a little fancy on a Tuesday, this one delivers without any fuss.
