    A quick appetizer

    Crackers are a must when it comes to a good appetizer spread. Whether you're making a Mediterranean mezze platter or a light appetizer board for summer, you need some good crackers or pita chips.

    Now pair that good quality cracker with some mashed avocados, goat cheese and salmon and you'll have a delicious appetizer. These easy salmon avocado bites are perfect for gatherings and parties and is ready in just 15 minutes.

    steps of making avocado bites with salmon.

    Ingredients

    • Cheese: I used plain goat cheese this time but I've also tried this recipe with herbed goat cheese and cream cheese and both work well.
    • Avocado: Make sure your avocado is soft and ripe. You can also use packaged avocado spread instead of fresh avocado.
    • Smoked salmon: You can use lox or flaky smoked salmon.
    • Crackers: The crackers used for this recipe should be thick enough to hold the avocado and salmon.

    Instructions

    Mix the goat cheese with red onions and parsley. Mash the avocado and season with salt and pepper.

    Spread some goat cheese on the crackers and top with avocado mash and smoked salmon. This recipe yields 20-25 salmon avocado bites.

    spread the cheese, add avocado and salmon.

    Variations

    These salmon avocado bites are simple yet so delicious. Here are a few variations you can use to jazz up this combination:

    • Top the bites with everything but the bagel seasoning.
    • Add fresh dill to the goat cheese.
    • Mix some chopped jalapenos with the avocados for more spiciness.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I make these ahead of time?

    It's best to make these avocado bites right before serving because the crackers would stay crisp and the avocado won't turn brown.

    I don't like onions, can I leave them out?

    Absolutely. This recipe would be just as delicious without the onions.

    Can I use any other cheese?

    You can use cream cheese (plain or flavored) or even soft cheese such as brie or camembert.

    salmon avocado bites are the perfect appetizer.

      My oldest is crazy about salmon and avocado such rolls, but I'm not sushi expert at home! He is going to love this recipe! It has everything he loves about his favorite sushi on a simple cracker. This would make a great appetizer as well. Thanks!

      I am a savory topping person! 😀 I made mine with grilled shrimp, but will GLADLY swap with these! Those Triscuit crackers are definitely addictive. I love that you used salmon!
