Wow - you've put so much thought into this trio of yummy cucumber appetizers. They look so delicious, especially the smoked salmon one! Yum!!

Thank you so much, I am happy to hear that ... it worked out so beautifully and I enjoyed every bite !

Every time you surprise me, Maria, you're fabulous
What a beautiful combination of food besides that soup another idea for me that I like so much to make soups hahaha
Have a beautiful week

Thank you so much, I am happy to hear that , the soup could also be a refreshing drink I guess if you add a little bit of fresh lime juice ... it was very refreshing especially between the two more other starters

true that raw vegan soups are incredibly healthy, I already wait for spring to start with that kind of food
have a beautiful day

This is impressive! Looks awesome

Thank you so much ! I am happy to hear that!

What should I say on this one!!! Simply awesome entry! This is what Steemit Iron Chefs are made of...so much effort put into that dish...bravo my friend!

Thank you so much ... I am happy that you liked it ... it was a really neat treat to eat and the combination was awesome at first I was in doubt about the cold soup ...if it was too simple ... but the whole idea was that it was the real flavors getting through and when I ate it ... I felt that the cold soup meged the other two in a great manner cleaning the palate between bites and being so refreshing... and I will be making more cucumberbased soups and salads for sure in the future
