Equipment

  • Blender
  • Vegetable Peeler

Ingredients

  • 2 cucumbers English
  • 4 ounces smoked salmon
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt full-fat, plain
  • 1/2 lemon zest and juice
  • pinch black pepper
  • 1 tsp everything bagel seasoning
  • 1/2 cup microgreens

Instructions

  • Use a vegetable peeler to peel long strips of skin, leaving about and inch of green between each strip.
  • Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise. Use a small metal spoon to scrape out the watery seeds in the middle, creating a 'trough' or boat shape.
  • Slice the smoked salmon into 1/2 inch wide thin ribbons.
  • Blend the Greek Yogurt, feta, lemon juice zest, and black pepper until creamy.
  • Spread the whipped feta mixture into the hollowed-out cucumber trough Fill it right to the brim.

  • Cut the salmon boats into 2 inch pieces (like sushi) and enjoy.
