Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice fresh
  • 2 tablespoon capers drained and chopped lightly
  • 3 tablespoon dill fresh, chopped roughly
  • 1 large cucumber seedless (English or burbless Armenian)
  • 3 oz smoked salmon
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Using a Mandoline or a vegetable peeler, slice wide ribbons of the cucumber lengthwise. You should have about 6 nice wide slices about 8" to 10" long. Lay them on a sheet of damp paper towel until later.
    1 large cucumber
  • In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, capers. Season with salt to taste, and a few twists of cracked pepper. Add the drained capers, whole or chopped, and the roughly chopped dill. Stir to combine everything well and set aside.

  • Pat one of the cucumber slices dry with a paper towel. Spread one or two teaspoons of the cream cheese filling along the length of the cucumber slice surface. Add a little extra at the far end to help secure the roll after rolling.
  • Top with small slice of the smoked salmon. Roll up the slathered cucumber strip into a roll tight enough to hold together, using the extra cream cheese at the end to secure. Use a toothpick to hold the cucumber roll ups together if necessary. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • You can use the tubs of flavored cream cheese also! Try the garlic and herb, it's amazing!
  • Use a mandoline or a vegetable peeler to make thin cucumber ribbons. They roll much easier than thicker slices of cucumber.
