🧾 Ingredients
- 100 g cream cheese (full-fat)
- 1 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp lemon juice 🍋
- 1 tsp fresh dill, finely chopped 🌿
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 medium cucumber
- 100 g smoked salmon, thinly sliced
🥣 Instructions
1. Make the Creamy Dill Spread
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
2. Prepare the Cucumber
Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin ribbons. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
3. Assemble the Lasagna
Layer 3–4 cucumber ribbons on a plate or dish. Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture over the cucumber. Top with slices of smoked salmon. Repeat: cucumber, cream, salmon—until you reach 3–4 layers. Finish with a final dollop of cream on top.
4. Garnish & Chill
Top with fresh dill, a pinch of cracked pepper, and optional pink peppercorns or lemon zest. Chill for 30 minutes before serving for best flavor and structure.
