Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumbers
- 8 ounces Low sodium cream cheese
- 4 ounces Smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers thoroughly.
Using a mandoline slicer or a vegetable peeler, carefully slice the cucumbers lengthwise into thin strips. Aim for about 10-12 strips from each cucumber.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the low sodium cream cheese, freshly chopped dill, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix well until the consistency is smooth and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Lay a strip of cucumber flat on a clean work surface. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the surface of the cucumber strip.
Place a small piece of smoked salmon (approximately 1-2 inches in size) at one end of the cucumber strip.
Starting from the salmon end, gently roll the cucumber strip into a spiral, keeping the roll tight but not squishing the cheese mixture out the sides.
Secure the end with a toothpick if needed to hold the roll together.
Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber strips and filling.
Arrange the rolls on a serving platter, and garnish with any remaining dill if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this low sodium, refreshing appetizer.
