AIP Friendly Cucumber Slices with Smoked Salmon & Herb Coconut Cream

Cool, crisp cucumber rounds topped with silky herb coconut cream and delicate smoked salmon — this appetizer is proof that eating to support your immune system doesn't mean sacrificing elegance or flavor. The coconut cream base is whipped together with fresh dill, chives, bright lemon juice, and zest, creating a dairy-free "cream" that's genuinely luxurious without a drop of anything off-protocol. Wild smoked salmon brings that rich, savory depth you'd normally get from cheese-laden canapés, making these little bites feel indulgent even though every single ingredient is clean and compliant. One of the trickiest parts of following the autoimmune protocol at gatherings is finding something that looks impressive enough to share — this one absolutely delivers on that front. There's no cooking involved, just a quick stir and assemble, so it comes together in minutes and serves four as a starter or light snack. Serve it immediately for the best texture, when the cucumber is still firm and the herb cream is cool and fresh.
