Smoked Salmon Cucumber Rolls
Smoked salmon cucumber rolls are refreshing appetizer bites, perfect for any occasion. Cream cheese and salmon are wrapped in slices of cucumber and seasoned to taste.
Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber (large)
- 3 ounces smoked salmon (90 grams)
- 10 teaspoons cream cheese
- arugula leaves (handful)
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
- dried dill weed (optional)
Instructions
- Thoroughly rinse the cucumber. Cut off the ends. Using a vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber into long thin strips. When you hit the seedy part and you are not able to peel an even strip, turn the cucumber around and start slicing again (you will get about 5-6 slices per side).
- Slice the salmon into bite-size strips.
- Lay a cucumber slice on a clean chopping board/worktop and spoon the cream cheese onto it, close to one of the ends. Place 1 or 2 salmon strips next to it as well as a few arugula leaves. Roll it up, making sure it’s tight. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat until you have used up all the cucumber slices.
- Place the cucumber bites onto a serving plate and season with salt, pepper and sprinkle with dill weed.
- Best served right away!
Notes
- I used 1 large English cucumber and got 10 bites out of it. You might get more or less depending on how well you slice the cucumber and also how large it is.
- The cucumber strips should be thick enough so they can stand on their own when rolled up.
- Cream cheese can be substituted with hummus.
