- 2 packages gravlax
- 1 box butter crackers
- 1 English cucumber
- 4 oz cream cheese room temperature
- ¼ cup whole grain mustard
- 2 oz goat cheese
- 4 tablespoons capers
- 3 tablespoons sweet Thai chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon dill
- 4 tablespoons red onion thinly sliced
Slice the cucumber at a 45-degree angle to create 1/4-inch thick slices. Arrange the crackers and cucumber slices on separate plates. Cut the gravlax into 1x1 inch strips.
Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of goat cheese on half of the crackers and cucumber slices. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of cream cheese on the remaining half.
For the New York Bagel version, on crackers and cucumber slices with cream cheese, add two to three capers and a few slices of red onion.
For the Sweet Thai Chili option, on the crackers and cucumbers with cream cheese, drizzle 1/4 teaspoon of sweet Thai chili sauce. To half of these, add a piece of gravlax, leaving the other half plain for a fish-free option.
For the Whole Grain Mustard & Goat Cheese combo, on the crackers and cucumber slices with goat cheese, spread 1/4 teaspoon of whole grain mustard. Top with a rolled piece of gravlax and sprinkle on dill to taste.
