Smoked Salmon & Herbed Ricotta Cucumber Bites | PALEO, Whole30, Keto
Servings: 24 bites
Calories: 15kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cucumber
- 1/2 cup dairy free ricotta cheese I like Kite Hill Almond Ricotta
- 1 tbsp coconut milk or almond milk
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 tsp dried chives
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- pinch salt and pepper
- 4-5 oz smoked salmon
Instructions
- Slice the cucumber into 1/4" or less thick rounds, and arrange on a serving tray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, milk, herbs, garlic, onion, and salt & pepper until smooth. Spread a spoonful on the top of each cucumber slice.
- Top with a piece of smoked salmon and a small piece of fresh dill to garnish. Serve chilled, and enjoy!
Notes
- For the ricotta, look for a dairy free option (unless you tolerate dairy of course, or aren't making these on a Whole30!) with the fewest ingredients. Kite Hill makes a great one that's Whole30 compliant. Read more about nut cheeses on the Whole30 HERE.
- For the smoked salmon, check for added sugar. We find a great wild caught one at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods that's sugar free. Check the deli section/refrigerated meats case at any store.
