Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture by blending cream cheese, minced spring onion, chopped chives, lemon juice, lemon zest, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl until smooth.
- Slice cucumbers into 1/2-inch rounds and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on each cucumber slice evenly.
- Top each cucumber slice with a piece of smoked salmon, draping it over the cream cheese.
- Garnish with freshly cracked black pepper and chives, and optionally drizzle with lemon juice.
- Serve immediately, chilled or at room temperature.

Notes
Ensure cucumber slices are dried well to maintain crispness. Use high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor, and prepare the cream cheese mixture ahead for convenience.
