Peanut 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 but comes together in minutes. The bright herb drizzle — a quick whisk of olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill, chives, and a touch of ground ginger — ties every element together with a flavor that feels both fresh and a little luxurious. Briny capers and paper-thin red onion add just enough sharpness to balance the richness of the salmon and avocado, while lemon wedges on the side let everyone dial up the citrus to their liking. Every ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts, and because the whole thing is assembled rather than cooked, there's no risk of cross-contact from shared pans or oils. It's the kind of dish that works equally well as a party centerpiece, a light weekend lunch, or an impressive appetizer that requires almost zero effort. Optional fresh horseradish alongside the salmon adds a gentle kick for anyone who wants it, but the platter is completely satisfying without it. Serve it immediately so the cucumber stays crisp and the avocado stays vibrant — this one disappears fast.
