Equipment
- Mandoline or vegetable peeler
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon
- Cutting board
- Knife
- Toothpicks (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber thinly sliced lengthwise
- 200 g smoked salmon cut into strips
- 100 g cream cheese softened
- 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Capers optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Cucumber: Use a mandoline or vegetable peeler to slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin ribbons. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Mix the Cream Cheese: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Rolls: Lay a slice of cucumber on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the cucumber slice. Place a strip of smoked salmon on one end of the cucumber slice.
- Roll and Secure: Gently roll the cucumber slice with the salmon and cream cheese mixture. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Repeat with the remaining slices.
- Serve: Arrange the rolls on a platter, garnish with capers if desired, and serve immediately as an appetizer.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a touch of horseradish to the cream cheese mixture.
These rolls are best served fresh but can be prepared up to 2 hours in advance and stored in the fridge.
