Recipe Card of Chatelaine smoked salmon roll on cucumber
Relish in these refreshing salmon cucumber rolls, a stunning, no-cook appetizer perfect for savoring on warm, sunny days.
Ingredients list
- 2 Long English Cucumbers
- 8-10 oz smoked salmon
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp Taste of the Okanagan Lemon Dill Vinaigrette (or more to taste)
- Fresh Dill to garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
- First, wash your cucumbers thoroughly and slice them thinly, lengthwise, either using a knife or mandoline. Keep the slices around 1/8 inch thick, avoiding the seedy centers. These slices will be the 'wrappers' for your rolls.
- Blend the softened cream cheese with the Lemon Dill Vinaigrette in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper as you see fit for an extra zing.
- Arrange the cucumber slices on a clean, flat surface, patting them dry with a paper towel to help the cheese mixture adhere.
- Spread the cream cheese blend on each cucumber slice, covering the surface thoroughly.
- Layer a piece of smoked salmon over the cream cheese. Trim it if necessary to fit the slice.
- Gently roll the cucumber slices from one end, ensuring the filling doesn't spill. Use a bit of cheese mixture to fasten the roll, and garnish with fresh dill.
- Repeat for the remaining slices, cream mixture, and salmon until all components are used up.
- Chill the rolls and serve them with a side of lemon wedges for that extra citrus kick. Relish in the delightful blend of crisp cucumber, creamy cheese, and savory salmon.
