Lupin 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 on a brunch table at a high-end restaurant — but comes together in minutes. The bright herb drizzle, made with olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill, and chives, ties every element together with a clean, grassy finish that makes each bite feel intentional. Briny capers and paper-thin red onion add just enough sharpness to balance the richness of the salmon and avocado, while a touch of ground ginger in the drizzle gives the whole thing a subtle, unexpected warmth. For anyone navigating lupin sensitivities, this kind of crowd-pleasing spread can feel off-limits when it involves store-bought dips, flavored crackers, or pre-marinated proteins that may contain hidden legume-derived ingredients — but every component here is straightforward and easy to verify. Fresh herbs, whole vegetables, and quality smoked salmon do all the heavy lifting without any filler ingredients to second-guess. Optional fresh horseradish alongside the salmon adds a punchy kick for anyone who wants a little heat. Whether you're entertaining or just treating yourself, this platter delivers serious flavor with zero fuss.
