1 English cucumber, unpeeled
2 ounces smoked salmon
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1-1/2 teaspoons horseradish
1 teaspoon fresh lime zest minced
1 teaspoon fresh lime Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste

Fresh herbs of your choice for garnish

Cut cucumber crosswise into 1-1/2-inch slices, then cut these slices diagonally (see my photograph). Scoop out centers with a melon baller making cucumber cups leaving 1/4-inch walls.

In a processor combine cream cheese, heavy cream, horseradish, lime zest, lime juice, salt, pepper and smoked salmon. Fill cucumber cups with salmon mousse, garnish with fresh herbs and serve this appetizer.
