Avocado Matzo Crackers with Smoked Salmon and Creme Fraiche

Ingredients:

  • 1 box Matzo crackers
  • 4 oz prepared smoked salmon (broken in to chunks)
  • 1 Cucumber (peeled and slice into thin rounds)
Avocado Mash:
  • 2 ripe avocado
  • 2 T Extra Virgin olive oil
  • 1 T Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 4oz container Creme Fraiche
  • 1/4 c finely chopped chive
  • zest of 1 lemon

Directions:

  • Prepare the Avocado Mash. Add avocado, oil, vinegar, lemon juice (reserve lemon zest) in a medium bowl and mash with fork leaving some larger chunks. Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste.
  • Break Matzo Crackers into pieces. Don't worry if they are "rustic’" looking but try to keep them similar in size (around 1-2 bites per piece).
  • Drop a dollop of avocado mash on to each cracker and flatten with the back of your spoon. Layer 1-2 slices cucumber followed by around 1/4 oz of the smoked salmon (more or less depending on your taste). Add a small dollop of creme fraiche on top of the salmon (you can make an impromptu piping bag by cutting a corner off of a ziplock bag or just spoon it on). Garnish with chive and lemon zest.
