Pistachio Free Smoked Salmon Platter with Herb Cucumber Rounds
Elegant, fresh, and endlessly impressive, this smoked salmon platter is the kind of spread that looks like it took hours but comes together in minutes. Silky folds of salmon are layered over crisp cucumber rounds, fanned avocado slices, and a tangle of red onion and briny capers — every element pulling its weight. A bright herb drizzle made with olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill, chives, and a hint of ground ginger ties the whole platter together with a light, aromatic finish. For anyone navigating nut allergies, platters and charcuterie-style spreads can be a minefield at restaurants or delis, where mixed nuts often share the same board or serving surface. This one is built entirely from fresh produce, fish, and pantry staples, so there's no guesswork about what's hiding in the mix. The optional fresh horseradish adds a gentle kick alongside the salmon if you want a little extra edge. It's the kind of recipe that works just as well for a casual weekend brunch as it does for a dinner party centerpiece.
