This recipe for smoked salmon cucumber roll is the perfect appetizer for holidays, family gatherings or anytime you want a refreshing, low-carb dish to serve for a party. There's just something about the combination of fresh dill, capers, cream cheese and smoked salmon.
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese with the lemon zest, lemon juice, capers and fresh dill. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Set aside.
Chop the ends from the cucumber and thinly slice lengthwise with a julienne peeler.
Spread one to two teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture along the length of each cucumber slice, adding an extra bit at the far end to help secure once rolled.
Top with small pieces of smoked salmon and tightly roll the cucumber into a rollup. If necessary, use toothpicks to hold each appetizer together.
Repeat with the remaining cucumber slices and filling. Serve immediately and enjoy!
