Smoked Salmon, Avocado, and Cucumber Bites

Easter Sunday is fast approaching, it’s time to plan something special and gather with your family or loved ones.

Whenever we have an event, gathering, or party, we always opt for a quick and easy appetizer, the appetizer that keeps the guests and their tummies happy until dinner but doesn’t take so much effort on making it. This recipe may be the best option for you to try for this Eastern Sunday as it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo, fresh, light, and delicious!
