These are a cute and fresh idea for an appetizer or as a pretty addition to a festive vegetable tray. I used to steam the pea pods, but this uncooked method yields a nicer look without all the fuss.
Ingredients
- 30 pods fresh snow peas, trimmed
- 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 ounce smoked salmon, flaked
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 pinch dried dill weed, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Split each snow pea down one seam.
Step 2
Mix cream cheese, smoked salmon, garlic salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Spoon salmon mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe mixture into the center of each snow pea pod, creating a scalloped edge. Sprinkle dill weed over cream cheese filling.
Cook’s Note:
I have made these without the salmon with great results too. You can also change up the herbs or spices to taste. They look cute with a tiny shrimp or fresh peas as a garnish.
