No-carb canapés

Want to save a bunch of calories but keep the blast of flavour that make canapés so conveniently more-ish? Swap carb-heavy bread for crispy cucumber; you get the same crunch with 75 percent fewer calories. This finger-food takes less than ten minutes to assemble and each has only 20 calories (and we all know how well salmon pairs with a flute of bubbly). The refreshing pop of green paired with pink salmon and creamy horseradish make these a visually appealing appetizer to begin with, but wait until you pop it in your mouth and feel your taste buds explode with spicy peaks and a cool cucumber finish. If the impending New Year has reminded you that life is too short to roast or bake the salmon, simply buy a package of freshly smoked fish from the grocery store.
