Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these appetizers ahead of time?

Yes, but assemble no more than 2 hours before serving. You can prepare the cream cheese mixture and slice cucumbers up to 24 hours in advance.

Can I substitute the smoked salmon with something else?

Absolutely! Try smoked trout, cooked shrimp or even thinly sliced radishes for a vegetarian option that adds crunch and color.

What other herbs work well in the cream cheese mixture?

Fresh chives, parsley or tarragon all pair beautifully with smoked salmon. Use the same amount as called for with dill.

Organic Valley’s mission is to provide a stable, sustainable pay price to farmers so they can continue farming with their families. It all started in 1988, when seven farmers got together to find a way to market their goods and make a sustainable living by producing organically derived food.

July 13, 1988, was the first day that Organic Valley® cheese was made!
