NOTES : This recipe is from Bonnie's "Appetizers" book. You can use leftover pieces of smoked salmon or even scraps that you can often buy less expensively at fish markets. Serve the tartare in an attractive bowl and allow guests to spread it on black bread, crackers or buttered toast. Or spread it on buttered black bread and arrange it on a platter. Use the mixture to fill Belgian endive leaves or the scooped out centers of thick cucumber slices. Makes approximately 2½ cups. (625mL) Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
