Instructions

1
Wash the cucumber and cut it into slices about 2 cm thick.
2
Using a small spoon or a round peeler, carefully scoop out part of the core (seeds) in each round to create a small well, being careful not to pierce the bottom.
3
Place the hollowed-out rounds on paper towels and let them drain for 5 minutes, then blot the tops as well to remove excess moisture.
4
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, lemon juice, chopped dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is completely smooth.
5
Fill each cucumber round with a teaspoon of the prepared herb spread.
6
Top each round with a piece of smoked salmon and sprinkle with hemp seeds for added texture and nutrition.
7
Serve the snack immediately so the cucumbers stay crunchy.

Nutritional benefits

Thanks to the high water content in cucumbers and the omega-3 fatty acids in salmon, this snack promotes body hydration and supports heart and cardiovascular health.
