How to make Smoked Salmon Cucumber Rolls

1. Start by washing the cucumber thoroughly. Then, using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut thin, lengthwise slices of cucumber. Aim for slices that are about 1/8 inch thick and avoid the seedy center. These will serve as the “wrappers” for your rolls.

2. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with Taste of the Okanagan Lemon Dill Vinaigrette until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This mixture will add a burst of flavor to the rolls.

3. Lay out the cucumber slices on a clean surface. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This will help the cream cheese mixture stick better.

4. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice. Make sure to cover the entire surface evenly.

5. Place a slice of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese layer. If the salmon slices are too large, you can cut them to fit the cucumber slices.

6. Now, it’s time to roll up the cucumber slices. Start at one end and gently roll them up, keeping them as tight as possible without squishing the filling. Secure the end with a little bit of cream cheese mixture. Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill.

7. Repeat this process with the remaining cucumber slices, cream cheese mixture, and smoked salmon until you’ve used up all your ingredients.

8. Serve your delicious appetizers chilled, accompanied by lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrusy flavor. The combination of cool cucumber, creamy cheese, and smoky salmon will surely delight your taste buds.

These smoked salmon cucumber rolls are not only a fantastic no-cook option for hot weather, but they also make an elegant and healthy appetizer for any occasion. Enjoy their refreshing taste and impress your friends and family with this simple yet stunning dish. Stay cool and bon appétit! 🍽️😊
