Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large cucumbers
- 0.5 cup coconut cashew cheese
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 whole lemon
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin, slice the cucumbers lengthwise into thin, wide ribbons. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the coconut cashew cheese with finely chopped fresh dill. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the mixture. Add black pepper to taste and stir until well combined.
Lay out a cucumber ribbon on a clean, flat surface. Spread a thin layer of the coconut cashew cheese mixture over the entire length of the cucumber strip.
Place a small piece of smoked salmon on one end of the cucumber ribbon, making sure it is centered.
Gently roll the cucumber from the salmon end, rolling towards the opposite end to form a tight cylinder.
Secure the roll by inserting a toothpick through the center.
Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber ribbons and fillings.
Arrange the completed cucumber rolls on a serving platter. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges for garnish.
Serve immediately, or chill and serve within an hour for optimal freshness.
