Salmon, Cheese and Cucumber Bites

• 1/2 whole Long (English) Cucumber (Peeled, Sliced)

• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (Ground Or Crushed)

1. Prepare the slices of the cucumber, making 10 slices of an even thickness.
2. I used a cookie cutter to cut each slice into a fun shape.
3. Top each cucumber slice with about 1/2 ounces weight of cheese.
4. Sprinkle some sweet and/or spicy ground paprika and the ground pepper over the top.
5. Then top it with a small portion of the smoked salmon.
6. Squeeze a drop of the lemon juice on top.
7. Garnish with the lemon slices and the fresh basil leaves.
