Cucumber Smoked Salmon Appetizers
Cucumber smoked salmon appetizers is a delicious and elegant twist on traditional sushi rolls. Instead of using seaweed and rice, thin slices of cucumber are rolled up with smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado, and other fillings of your choice. These rolls are then sliced into bite-sized pieces and can be served as a light and refreshing appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest preferably organic
- 2 tsps lemon juice fresh
- 2 tablespoons capers drained
- 3 tablespoons dill fresh, chopped
- Sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 large cucumber seedless
- 2 oz. smoked salmon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese with the lemon zest, lemon juice, capers, and fresh dill. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Chop the ends from the cucumber and thinly slice lengthwise with a mandoline slicer or a vegetable peeler.
- Spread one to two teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture along the length of each cucumber slice, adding an extra bit at the far end to help secure once rolled.
- Top with small pieces of smoked salmon and tightly roll the cucumber into a rollup. If necessary, use toothpicks to hold each appetizer together.
- Repeat with the remaining cucumber slices and filling. Serve immediately and enjoy!
