Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 150 grams Smoked salmon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Using a vegetable peeler, slice long, thin strips from the cucumber to create the outer wrap of the rolls. If the cucumber has seeds, use the outer flesh of the cucumber only.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, fresh dill (finely chopped), salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Lay out each cucumber slice on a flat surface. Spread about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture along each cucumber slice evenly.
Place a slice of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese layer. You may need to cut the smoked salmon into strips to fit the cucumber.
Sprinkle a few capers on top of the salmon.
Carefully roll up the cucumber strip tightly. Repeat the process for all slices.
Secure each roll with a toothpick, if necessary, and place them seam side down on a plate.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy your high-protein cucumber rolls!
