A certain game is just around the corner here in the United States, so my thoughts have been wandering to appetizers for the family. We have family members who have been on a low carb diet, a gluten free diet, the Trim Healthy Mama diet and of course no diet at all, so sometimes preparing food for family gatherings can get a little complicated.

This recipe works for everyone!

Salmon Cucumber Bites have only a few ingredients and can be assembled quickly. They can also be put together ahead of time and chilled in the fridge. We are on a pretty tight budget right now, so canned salmon is my current choice, but you can use smoked salmon if you prefer.

If you don’t care for strong flavors, just skip the horseradish, but I think it adds a really nice zestiness. Even the kids like these bites!

    Oooh! We have some freshly canned salmon (caught and canned by our neighbor). This would be a perfect way to use some!

    This looks yummy. I do have to say I am a wimp about the salmon. The pics are beautiful and yummy looking.
    Will tuna work with this recipe?

    • Abbie and Mrs. Brown says:

      Oh yes, I think it would work very well indeed! Canned salmon is pretty similar in texture to canned tuna. I would say just be sure to drain it well. Let us know if you try it that way! Actually, trying it with tuna gives me an excuse to make it again…. hmmmm… 🙂
