Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Smoked Salmon
- 100 grams Cream Cheese (light)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
- 2 tablespoons Dill (fresh, chopped)
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red Bell Pepper
- 50 grams Arugula
- 4 slices Whole Grain Bread
Instructions
Begin by slicing the cucumber and red bell pepper into long, thin strips. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the light cream cheese with the lemon zest and half of the chopped dill. Mix well until smooth and spreadable.
Take a slice of whole grain bread and, using a rolling pin, flatten it slightly. This will make it easier to roll.
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the flattened bread slice.
Place a few slices of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese layer, covering the bread evenly.
Add a handful of arugula across the salmon, followed by a few strips of cucumber and bell pepper.
Carefully roll the bread slice tightly, starting from one end and working your way to the other to form a roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices and filling ingredients.
Once all rolls are assembled, cut each roll into 4 even pieces to create bite-sized rolls.
Arrange the smoked salmon rolls on a serving plate, sprinkle with the remaining dill, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Mediterranean-inspired appetizer!
