Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices smoked salmon
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or chives (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh lemon zest (optional, for added freshness)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Cucumber:
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds (or lengthwise if you prefer longer strips for wrapping). - Spread the Hummus:
Lay the smoked salmon slices flat on a clean surface, such as a cutting board. Spread a thin layer of hummus onto each slice of smoked salmon, leaving the edges free from hummus to make it easier to roll. - Add Cucumber:
Place a few cucumber slices (about 3-4 slices per roll) along one edge of each smoked salmon slice. - Roll-Up:
Carefully roll the smoked salmon slices around the cucumber, creating a tight roll-up. - Garnish and Serve:
Once all the rolls are complete, arrange them on a plate. Garnish with fresh dill, chives, or a light zest of lemon, if desired. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. - Serve:
Serve immediately as an appetizer or light snack. These are also great for meal prep and can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
Notes
- You can switch up the hummus flavor based on your preference. Try using roasted red pepper, garlic, or tahini-based hummus for a different twist.
- For a more substantial meal, serve the roll-ups with a side of fresh greens or a light salad.
- To make this dish even more flavorful, you can add a few capers or a small drizzle of olive oil before serving.
