Hazelnut Free Smoked Salmon Platter with Herb Cucumber Rounds
Silky smoked salmon, creamy avocado, and crisp cucumber rounds come together on one stunning platter that looks like it belongs at a high-end brunch table — but comes together with almost no cooking at all. The whole thing is built around fresh, whole ingredients: briny capers, paper-thin red onion, bright lemon wedges, and a generous scatter of dill and chives that make every bite feel alive. A simple herb drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice, and a whisper of ground ginger ties everything together without overpowering the delicate salmon. Tree nut allergies can make entertaining stressful, especially with platters that sometimes sneak in nut-based crackers, pestos, or garnishes — here, every single component is straightforward and naturally free of those concerns. The optional fresh horseradish adds a gentle kick alongside the salmon if you want a little extra edge. This is the kind of dish that disappears fast, so don't be surprised if you're plating a second round before the party even gets going.
