Ingredients

8 oz smoked salmon

1 medium cucumber

1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)

1 tablespoon capers, drained (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Cucumber: Wash the cucumber thoroughly and trim the ends. Using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline, slice the cucumber into long, thin ribbons. Aim for around 1/8 inch thick.

    Season the Hummus: If desired, stir the fresh dill and capers into the hummus for added flavor. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.

      Assemble the Roll-Ups: On a flat surface, lay out a slice of smoked salmon. Spread a generous layer of hummus (about 1-2 tablespoons) over the salmon. Place a few cucumber ribbons along one edge of the salmon, and then sprinkle a bit more dill if using.

        Roll and Cut: Starting from the edge with the cucumber, roll the smoked salmon tightly around the filling. Ensure the cucumber sticks out a bit to create a lovely presentation. Repeat with the remaining salmon and ingredients.

          Serve: Arrange the roll-ups on a serving platter or individual plates. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing squeeze of citrus.

            Enjoy: These roll-ups can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for a short time before serving. Garnish with additional dill if desired.
