DILLICIOUS CUCUMBER & SALMON APPETIZERS


1/2 pkg. Divine Dill Dip Mix

1 c. sour cream OR 4 oz. cream cheese

1 large cucumber

1 pkg. (about 3 oz.) smoked salmon

Fresh dill or canned pimento


Combine the sour cream or cream cheese and Divine Dill Dip Mix and refrigerate for at least an hour, so the onions in the dip mix will soften and the flavors will blend with the sour cream or cream cheese.

Slice a large cucumber in half. With a vegetable peeler, peel the length of each cucumber, leaving narrow strips of the peel intact (see photo). Cut the cucumber into 1 to 2 inch slices, then make a little cup out of each piece of cucumber by hollowing out a bit of the cucumber. Put about a teaspoon of the dill dip mixture into the hollow space of each cucumber. Cut a small piece (about 2 inches or so) of smoked salmon and roll it up. Place the rolled salmon on top of the dill dip mixture that is inside the cucumber slice. Garnish with a little minced dill or a small piece of canned pimento. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve.
