Notes
If you are making this for a party and want to prepare as much as possible in advance you can slice the cucumbers and store in an airtight container.
Also, the day before you can make the yogurt mixture. I usually top them a few hours in advance and store them in the fridge until ready to serve.
These cucumber smoked salmon appetizers definitely should be served cold.
