Gravadlax & Beetroot Canapés
Posted by Ardtaraig on 26th Aug 2026 Reading time:
There’s something wonderfully special about gravadlax. Delicate, fresh and subtly flavoured with herbs and spices, it can transform simple ingredients into something that feels effortlessly luxurious.
These gravadlax and beetroot canapés are a perfect example. With earthy beetroot, smooth and creamy cheese, delicate slices of gravadlax and fresh dill, they make an elegant little bite for entertaining — and they’re surprisingly simple to put together.
What You'll Need
- Gravadlax
- Cooked beetroot
- Cream cheese or another soft, creamy cheese
- Fresh dill
- A little lemon, if desired
- Freshly ground black pepper
How to Make Them
Start by cutting the cooked beetroot into small, even rounds. Pat gently with kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture.
Top each beetroot round with a generous spoonful of creamy cheese. Add a small piece or slice of gravadlax, allowing it to fold naturally over the cheese.
Finish with a generous sprig of fresh dill and, if you like, a little freshly squeezed lemon and freshly ground black pepper.
The result is a beautifully colourful canapé with contrasting textures and fresh, vibrant flavours.
