INGREDIENTS
-
3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
-
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
-
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives, divided
-
2 teaspoons olive oil
-
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium Old Bay Seasoning
-
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
½ teaspoon liquid smoke
-
1 (5 ounce) can very low-sodium chunk white tuna, drained
-
2 tablespoons diced pimiento, drained
-
24 almond crackers, such as Blue Diamond Almond Thins brand
-
½ of a 12-inch English cucumber (about 8 ounces), cut into 24 slices, each about 1/4 inch thick
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Stir cream cheese, onion, 1 tablespoon chives, oil, Old Bay, Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke in a medium bowl until creamy.
-
Flake tuna with a fork. Add the tuna and pimiento to the cream cheese mixture; stir until well mixed. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. (The smoke flavor will build. It may seem faint at first, but refrain from adding more liquid smoke until after the mixture chills. If desired, stir in an additional 1/8-1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke.)
-
To assemble the canapés, spread 1/2 teaspoon of the tuna mixture on each cracker. Top each with a cucumber slice and another 1 1/2 teaspoons of the tuna mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives.
