Are these not the cutest little appetizers ever, or what?! I had planned to share these with you yesterday, just in time for Mother's Day, but then the day flew by and I totally missed it. I'm sorry!

You don't have to wait until next year just to make these adorable smoked salmon appetizer bites. With summer just around the corner, these guys are what you want to bring along to all of your outdoor parties. There's no need to look any further for smoked salmon appetizer recipes. This one is it. Seriously, your friends will love you for it.

Why you need to make these smoked salmon appetizer bites

1. Crunchy cucumbers + lemony cream cheese + rich smoked salmon + a touch of dill = delicious
2. They're so pretty! And let's be honest, pretty food is more fun to eat.
3. You can look like a rockstar at your next part. Just don't tell anyone how easy it is to make these little bites.
4. They're gluten-free, which can be rare for party appetizers.
5. There's just something about smoked salmon cream cheese appetizers that are impossible to resist. It's seriously the best combo.
6. I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't love these little guys.

There are few things better than smoky salmon, crunchy cucumbers, and lemony cream cheese. It's classic, my friends. All I've done here is pretty them up a bit so they are party perfect.

But don't worry, these pretty little bites are a breeze to make. Looks are totally deceiving! I've used mini cucumbers so they are truly bite-sized and then rolled up tiny slivers of lox-style smoked salmon. The lemony dill cream cheese is pipped on, which is WAY easier than dolloping it on my the spoonful. And prettier. Obvs.

I brought these cucumber smoked salmon appetizer bites to an Oscar party a while ago and they disappeared in about 2 seconds flat. No joke. You'll want to make lots of these guys and have a whole smoked salmon appetizer platter. 🙂
