Salmon & Cream Cheese Cucumber Bites

Ingredients

• 1/4 cucumber
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese (plain, full-fat)
• 2 tablespoons cooked salmon (flaked, bones removed)

Method

1. 01

   Wash cucumber thoroughly and peel if desired. Slice into thick rounds (about 1 cm thick).

2. 02

   Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on top of each cucumber round.

3. 03

   Flake cooked or canned salmon (check for bones) and place a small piece on top of the cream cheese.

4. 04

   Gently press the salmon into the cream cheese so it holds together.

5. 05

   Serve immediately on the high chair tray, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving.

How to offer

Place 2–3 cucumber rounds flat on the high chair tray. Always supervise baby during feeding. The thick cucumber round is easy for a 6-month-old to hold in a palmar grasp. Ensure all bones are completely removed from salmon.

Storage

Best served fresh. Refrigerate assembled bites for up to 4 hours. Store components separately for up to 2 days.
