Elevate your appetizer game with these Dairy-Free Cucumber Rolls filled with creamy plant-based cheese, smoky salmon, and vibrant fresh dill. This recipe takes just 20 minutes to prepare and offers a refreshing, low-carb, and gluten-free bite perfect for parties, brunch spreads, or light snacks. Thinly sliced cucumber acts as a crisp, hydrating wrap, while a zesty blend of dairy-free cream cheese, dill, and lemon juice creates a rich, tangy filling. Each roll is finished with tender smoked salmon for a gourmet touch. Beautifully simple yet full of flavor, these delectable rolls are a healthier, dairy-free twist on a classic pairing.
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel.
Using a mandoline or a vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin, even strips. You should aim for strips that are about 2 mm thick. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free cream cheese, finely chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Lay a cucumber strip flat on a clean cutting board.
Spread a thin layer of the seasoned dairy-free cream cheese along the entire length of the cucumber strip.
Place a small piece of smoked salmon on one end of the cucumber strip.
Roll the cucumber strip tightly starting from the end with the smoked salmon, to form a neat roll.
Secure the roll with a toothpick if necessary, and place it on a serving plate.
Repeat with the remaining cucumber strips and filling.
Garnish the plate with extra fresh dill sprigs if desired. Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer.
