Yeast Free Cucumber Rounds with Smoked Salmon
Crisp cucumber rounds act as the perfect bite-sized base here, swapping out any bread or cracker so there's nothing to worry about on the leavening front. The avocado spread is bright and herby — mashed with fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and dill — and it clings beautifully to each slice without needing any filler ingredients. Wild-caught smoked salmon brings a silky, savory richness on top, while briny capers add little pops of flavor that make every bite feel intentional. A pinch of red pepper flakes at the end gives the whole platter a gentle kick if you're into that. This is the kind of appetizer that looks like you spent way more time on it than you actually did, which is always a win. It comes together in minutes and works just as well for a casual snack as it does for a dinner party spread.
