Tree Nut Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Cucumber Rounds with Lemon-Dill

These elegant little bites are proof that appetizers can be both impressive and genuinely wholesome. Cool cucumber rounds act as the base, topped with a creamy mashed avocado spread brightened by fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and fragrant dill — then finished with silky smoked salmon and optional briny capers. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden nut oils sneaking into your spread. The avocado mixture comes together in minutes with just a fork, making this an almost effortless dish that still looks like you put in serious effort. It's light, refreshing, and packed with healthy fats and bold flavor in every single bite. Serve these at a party, a brunch, or just as a snack, and watch them disappear before you've even set down the platter.
