Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz smoked salmon thinly sliced
  • 1 large cucumber cut into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Mandoline slicer (for thin, even cucumber slices; ensures professional presentation)
  • Sharp Chef’s Knife (for precise cutting of cucumber and smoked salmon)
  • Cutting board (for safe, clean slicing of all ingredients)
  • Mixing bowl (for combining cream cheese with herbs and lemon juice)
  • Spatula or butter knife (for spreading the cheese mixture smoothly)
  • Paper towels or clean kitchen towel (for patting cucumber dry and preventing soggy rolls)
  • Toothpicks or appetizer skewers (optional, to secure rolls and for easy serving)
  • Serving Platter (for elegant presentation)

Method
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
  1. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Assemble the Rolls:
  1. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice.
Add the Smoked Salmon:
  1. Take a piece of smoked salmon, roll or fold it, and place it on top of the cream cheese-covered cucumber.
Garnish and Serve:
  1. Garnish each roll with an additional sprinkle of dill. Arrange on a serving platter, and enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Choose the Best Salmon: Use premium smoked salmon for silky texture and rich flavor—your appetizer is only as good as your ingredients.
  • Herb Your Way: Fresh dill is classic, but feel free to get creative with chives, basil, or even a sprinkle of lemon zest for a zesty twist.
  • Serve Extra Fresh: For the best taste and crunch, keep the rolls chilled and assemble just before serving. If prepping ahead, cover tightly to keep them from drying out.
