This recipe combines the classic combo of Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese with the healthy and refreshing taste of Cucumber. We love using cucumber because it’s low in carbs but packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Now, this recipe has healthy fats from Salmon to help maintain brain function to help protect you from the depression, memory loss or even dementia caused by an omega-3 fatty acid deficiency.
