Savoury Cucumber Hors D'oeuvres
Hors d'oeuvres anyone?
What is a hors d'oeuvre you may well ask.
It is a small amount of food served before the main meal.
The word is French.
In English, it is known as an appetiser.
Other words used are:
finger foods
party snacks
starters
canapes
antipasto
noisettes
medallions
morsels
nibbles
nuggets
tidbits
It's now common for plates of hors d'oeuvres to be served as the primary food presented, at gatherings, parties, exhibition openings, training and work events.
They can be elaborately fancy created from pastry with a creamy sauce filling or as simple as a cube of toast with a topping.
But as many of us are now gluten intolerant, we see more fruit and vegetables being used as the base.
A request for a recent gathering I attended was, 'Please bring a plate of finger food'.
So I created these delightful savoury cucumber hors d'oeuvres with a smoked salmon twist.
Super easy to whip up, gluten-free, keto friendly, crisp, creamy, and delicious.
The salmon I used is already thinly sliced.
So it is easy to remove from the packet and cut into smaller pieces.
If you don't have aioli for the topping, you can use seafood dressing or mayonnaise.
