Ingredients

  • 2 English cucumber, sliced lengthwise, thin
  • 6 oz smoked salmon (wild-caught)
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp capers, drained
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. 1

    Use a vegetable peeler or mandoline to shave the 2 English cucumber into long, flat ribbons about 1/16-inch thick. Lay the ribbons on a paper towel and pat dry.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine the 1 mashed ripe avocado with 2 tsp fresh lemon juice, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Lay each cucumber ribbon flat. Spread a thin layer of the avocado mixture along the length of the ribbon. Place a strip of 6 oz smoked salmon (wild-caught) at one end. Scatter 2 tbsp drained capers, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 2 tbsp finely diced red onion over the salmon.

  4. 4

    Starting from the salmon end, roll the cucumber ribbon tightly into a cylinder. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Repeat with the remaining ribbons.

  5. 5

    Arrange on a plate and garnish with extra dill. Serve immediately or refrigerate uncovered up to 1 hour.
