File this one away for your next dinner party or holiday get together. Smoked salmon with lemon caper cream cheese in endive. This is a very easy appetizer that looks fancy but is incredibly easy to put together. They’re tasty, light and low carb and a crowd pleaser.

I like to use whipped cream cream for this recipe because it’s light and easy to pipe.

I’ll admit I haven’t quite been able to let go of summer yet. We still have the BBQ going and when we are grilling I like to have a big, beautiful salad on the side.

One of my favourites, is mixed baby greens topped with prosciutto, blackberries, marcona almonds and a healthy portion of decadent burrata.

With this type of salad featuring all these wonderful flavours, I simply dress it with a good quality olive oil, some balsamic vinegar, fresh ground pepper and salt.

Lately I’ve been using smoked maldon salt and it works really well in this recipe.

You could substitute blueberries or raspberries and any other nuts you fancy.

This is a very easy salad to whip together on a weeknight or for friends on the weekend.
