  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, and horseradish. Blend at medium speed with a handheld mixer until smooth and creamy.
  3. Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of the creamy mixture onto each cucumber slice for an even layer.
  4. Place a piece of smoked salmon on top of each cucumber slice, folding it slightly for an attractive presentation.
  5. Secure each bite with toothpicks or tiny party forks, arrange on a platter, and serve immediately.
