Ingredients

1 large English cucumber about 14 oz / 400 g
8 oz full-fat cream cheese softened
1/4 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 oz smoked salmon cured without alcohol
1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

Trim the cucumber and cut it into even 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) rounds. Pat the slices completely dry on paper towels.
Beat the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt and pepper with a hand mixer for 60 to 90 seconds until fluffy.
Fold in the dill and chives gently with a spatula.
Pipe a 1-inch swirl of the herb cheese onto each cucumber slice.
Top each bite with a small folded ribbon of smoked salmon and sprinkle the platter with everything bagel seasoning.
Chill for 30 to 45 minutes and serve cold.

Notes

Assemble no more than 1 to 2 hours before serving so the cucumbers stay crisp. The herb cheese can be made up to 3 days ahead. Choose smoked salmon cured without alcohol.
