Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole English cucumber
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 ounces Vegetarian smoked salmon substitute
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the English cucumber thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips. Aim for 16 good slices and set them aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and evenly mixed.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until the dill is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Lay a cucumber slice flat and spread about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface.
Place a piece of the vegetarian smoked salmon substitute at one end of the cucumber slice.
Carefully roll the cucumber slice around the smoked salmon substitute, starting from the end with the salmon, creating a tight roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber slices, cream cheese mixture, and vegetarian smoked salmon.
Arrange the cucumber rolls on a serving platter. For an extra decorative touch, garnish each roll with a small sprig of dill.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
