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