Smoked Salmon Cucumber Boats

Usually when my parents go out of town I hit the jackpot because they give me everything in their fridge that they don’t think they’ll eat before their trip. Along with a few things in the fridge that I was going to put to good use, I also found a few things in their pantry that I wanted so I convinced them the food was “going to go bad” muahahaha. Nothing wrong with that right? ;-p

One of the superstars of their food donation to me was delicious smoked salmon. It’s something I never think to buy, but every time I do I’m always wondering to myself why I don’t buy it more often. 

Nothing goes with smoked salmon like CREAM CHEESE. The last couple of times I went to brunch, I ordered smoked salmon and cream cheese on a bagel. Better known as Bagel and Lox. Or Lox and Cream Cheese Bagel. Or something of those terms. Either way, I’m all about it. I just can’t get enough. I’m totally sensing a theme here and it’s the salmon and the cream cheese.

I find that when I buy bagels they go to waste so I wanted to come up with a way to eat them as a lighter dish. Smoked salmon on a cucumber! They’re the cutest little things and you really won’t miss the bread. And all the carbs. And it makes way more room in your tummy for more salmon and cream cheese!
