When you’re having friends over, the first bites you serve set the tone. So start the party right with our yummy salmon and cucumber bruschetta recipe. It hits every note — crunchy, creamy, savory and fresh. Not only is it full of flavor, it’s such a quick and easy appetizer to make! Just start with slices of dark rye bread brushed with olive oil and toasted, and top them with sliced avocado, smoked salmon and cucumber ribbons. Just before serving, sprinkle the bruschetta with toasted sesame seeds and drizzle with soy sauce for a pop of sweet tanginess. Talk about a bite that’s sure to delight! Give it a try then leave us a comment below. 

Quick tip: For picture-perfect cucumber ribbons, use a standard vegetable peeler. Simply shave the cucumber lengthwise and continue making ribbons until the seeds are just visible. Then rotate the veggie and repeat the process. Avoiding the watery core helps the ribbons hold their shape.
