Provided by á-2385

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces hot or cold smoked salmon
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
3 tablespoons half-and-half
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
1 large English cucumber, cut into 30 (1/3-inch-thick) slices, or 30 small whole grain crackers

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality smoked salmon: Look for salmon that is firm and has a vibrant color. Avoid salmon that is dry or has a dull color.
