Instructions

Wash and dry the cucumber. Slice it into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange half the slices on a serving platter.
In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, dill, chives, lemon zest, black pepper, and sea salt until smooth and well combined.
Spread a generous layer of the herbed cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice on the platter.
Top each with a ribbon of smoked salmon and a few chopped capers.
Place another cucumber slice on top to form a stack, gently pressing down.
Garnish the stacks with extra dill or chives if desired. Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes before serving for a refreshing bite.
