Ingredients
Scale
Spread Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp dill, chopped
- 3 oz smoked salmon
Assembly Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
