Ingredients
- 4 oz smoked salmon (or fresh salmon, cooked and cooled)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tbsp fresh dill (chopped, or 1 tsp dried dill)
- 1 tbsp capers (drained and chopped)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cucumber (thinly sliced lengthwise)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Optional: Lettuce leaves (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, dill, capers, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Cucumber:
- Using a vegetable peeler or mandoliner, slice the cucumber into thin strips. These will serve as the base for the roll-ups.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups:
- Lay out a slice of cucumber and spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over it.
- Place a piece of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese.
- Roll the cucumber slice tightly around the salmon.
- Serve:
- Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber slices, cream cheese mixture, and salmon.
- Arrange the roll-ups on a plate. You can garnish with extra dill or lemon wedges if desired.
- Optionally, serve on a bed of lettuce leaves for added crunch.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, consider adding some finely chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture.
- These roll-ups are great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days. Just keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
