Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 150 grams low-fat cream cheese
- 100 grams smoked salmon
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumber. Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer, thinly slice the cucumber lengthwise into strips, avoiding the seeds. You should have about 12-16 strips.
In a small bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese, finely chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Lay out the cucumber strips on a clean work surface. Pat them dry with a paper towel if they seem too moist.
Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each cucumber strip.
Cut the smoked salmon into small pieces and place one or two pieces at one end of each cucumber strip.
Carefully roll each cucumber strip starting from the end with the salmon, securing the roll tightly without squeezing out the filling.
Stand the rolls upright on a serving platter, with the cut ends facing down. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
