These Keto Cucumber and Smoked Salmon Rolls are a light, refreshing, and healthy snack or appetizer. With crisp cucumber, creamy cream cheese, and savory smoked salmon, this recipe offers a perfect low-carb bite that’s full of flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced into thin strips (lengthwise)
- 4 oz smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon capers (optional)
- Fresh parsley or dill for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cucumber: Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer, cut the cucumber into thin, long strips. You can leave the skin on for extra color, or peel it for a smoother appearance.
- Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Rolls: Lay a cucumber strip flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture along the length of the cucumber strip. Place a slice of smoked salmon on top, then roll it up tightly. Repeat this process with the remaining cucumber strips.
- Garnish and Serve: If desired, garnish the rolls with a few capers on top, and sprinkle with extra fresh dill or parsley for added flavor and color. Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or snack.
