Smoky salmon, nestled over tangy pumpernickel bread, and topped with creamy avocado, grassy chives and tart lemon. Let's recap just for fun: smoky, tangy, creamy, fresh, all on a chewy pumpernickel triangle. I'm all in. And check it out: this assembly-style appetizer requires no cooking. Sign. Me. Up.
If you're looking for a last-minute appetizer idea, stop right here. You're done. Just grab a handful of ingredients, head to the self checkout lane, and you'll be home assembling in no time. The best part is, the triangles are so colorful and crammed with a variety of flavors, everyone will think you slaved. Mess up your hair if you want to look exhausted. You won't be.
Want to prep ahead? Right on - great plan. The salmon triangles can be assembled with the bread and salmon up to 24 hours in advance. Cover the dish with plastic and refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with diced avocado and chives just before serving.
