Low Sugar Smoked Salmon Platter with Herb Cucumber Rounds

This platter is the kind of thing that looks like it took serious effort but comes together in minutes — silky smoked salmon draped over crisp cucumber rounds, fanned avocado, and a bright herb drizzle that ties everything together beautifully. The dressing is just olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dill, chives, and a touch of ground ginger, so every element on this board is completely free of added sweeteners. That matters more than you might think, because store-bought smoked salmon accompaniments — think packaged cream cheese spreads or bottled dressings — often sneak in sugar where you'd least expect it. Here, you're working entirely with whole, fresh ingredients, so there's nothing hidden to worry about. Briny capers, paper-thin red onion, and optional fresh horseradish add punchy contrast to the rich salmon and buttery avocado, making every bite genuinely interesting. It's elegant enough for a weekend brunch spread or a dinner party appetizer, but simple enough to pull off on a weeknight when you want something impressive without turning on the stove.
