Cucumber Gravlax
Cucumber Gravlax
I wasn’t expecting to like this simple 4 ingredient Cucumber Gravlax as much as I did. Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese and Capers served on little pieces of french bread was one of my go to appetizer before going Gluten Free. I didn’t think Cucumber could ever compare to french bread but I was presently surprised. The Freshness of the Cucumber compliments the Smoked Salmon, Capers and Cream Cheese perfectly. I could eat the whole plate to myself they’re that good. They taste incredible and are incredibly simple. I prefer to use light cream cheese but you can use regular if you like it better.
This Cucumber Gravlax makes a great Gluten Free Appetizer for Game Day. It’s really easy to make with absolutely no cooking needing. It can be whipped up in a couple of minutes with very little effort. It’s a Healthier, Low Carb option that does Skimp on the Taste.
Check out this Easy Gluten Free Cream Cheese Taquito Recipe as well. It’s a simple Appetizer That can be thrown together quickly and will be sure to please a crowd.

This looks delicious! I love gravalax and having a plate of it near me is dangerous because I can go through it all by myself! So simple, but so good! Love this 🙂

Cucumber is amazing with smoked salmon, and even though I’m not gluten free… I would likely choose this version over the bread version. Looks great!

I used to eat gravlax when I was younger because my step father’s family is Jewish. I just ate mine on bagels instead. Can’t wait to try it on a cucumber slice!
