Steps:

• For the onion cream cheese: Stir together the cream cheese, chives, green onions and garlic powder in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the egg and bacon salad: Stir together the mayonnaise, parsley, shallots, mustard, paprika, eggs and bacon in a medium bowl. Add more mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier egg salad. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the sandwiches: Place 4 of the bread slices on a cutting board and spread each with about 3 tablespoons of the onion cream cheese in an even layer on one side. Top with a single layer of smoked salmon, squeeze some lemon juice over the salmon and then cover with a second slice of bread to form 4 sandwiches. Cut the crusts off. Slice each sandwich in half crosswise and then cut each half diagonally to create 4 triangle-shaped finger sandwiches. Place a cucumber round on top of each sandwich and arrange on a platter.

Steps:

• 1. Peel and seed cucumber. Dice cucumber, red pepper, carrots, and celery very finely.
• 2. Combine first nine ingredients in large bowl, stirring until well blended. Salt and pepper to taste. Spread mixture on half the bread slices, topping with the other half. Cut how you like.
• 3. The veggie measurements are approximate; you can feel free to throw whatever you like in there. I actually think it would be good with pecans or some other kind of nut to give it extra crunch.
• 4. **** I love the idea of small shrimp with diced chicken together on top of everything.
