Ingredients

Directions

Special equipment:
a mini food processor; a disposable piping bag or resealable plastic bag
  1. Halve the cucumbers lengthwise. Use a small metal measuring spoon to hollow out about half of each cucumber piece, creating a divot on one side for filling. Pat the cut sides dry.
  2. Combine the cream cheese, smoked salmon and sour cream in a food processor and season with a few grinds of pepper. Process to make a smooth filling. Add the capers and 1 tablespoon of the chives and pulse just to combine.
  3. Transfer the filling to a disposable piping bag or resealable plastic bag and cut about 1/4 inch off the tip or corner. Pipe the filling into the cavities of the cucumbers. Sprinkle with the remaining chives.
