Ingredients

Scale

Spread Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp dill, chopped
  • 3 oz smoked salmon

Assembly Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spread: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, and smoked salmon. Mix well until you achieve a smooth, uniform spread.
  2. Prepare the Cucumber Strips: Using a vegetable peeler, peel the cucumber into thin, long strips. Pat the strips dry carefully with paper towels to remove moisture and help the spread adhere better.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Spread a generous layer of the smoked salmon mixture onto each cucumber strip, then gently roll them up to form bite-sized appetizers.
  4. Serve: Chill the rolled cucumber appetizers before serving. For best texture, prepare close to serving time to prevent sogginess.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture and flavor.
  • Ensure cucumber strips are thin and dry to prevent the rolls from becoming soggy.
  • Can be garnished with extra dill or a squeeze of lemon for added freshness.
  • Best served chilled and consumed within a few hours of preparation.
