These Cucumber Salmon Rolls are perfect for a refreshing, healthy lunch. They also make an elegant appetizer and snack.
You only smoked salmon, avocado, chives, and cream cheese. Top the mixture onto cucumber strips smeared with cream cheese. Roll everything together and cut into slices.
These rolls are so easy to make, and the recipe can be varied in so many ways. Feel free to add red onion, arugula, green onion, red peppers, more cucumber, dill, or even sushi rice. You can even swap the salmon for tuna and make my Cucumber Tuna Rolls.
If the chive bow is too complicated (and it took me a few tries to get right without breaking), simply top the rolls with sriracha mayo, black and white sesame seeds, or edible flowers instead.
