• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 100 g Smoked salmon
• 2 tbsp Capers

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumber thoroughly and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 2

Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the cucumber into long, thin strips, about 2 mm thick. Set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Lay a strip of cucumber flat on a clean surface.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the cucumber strip using a butter knife or small spatula.

Step 6

Place a small piece of smoked salmon at one end of the cucumber slice and a couple of capers next to it.

Step 7

Starting at the end with the salmon, carefully roll the cucumber slice up tightly until you reach the other end.

Step 8

Secure the roll with a toothpick, and repeat the process with the remaining cucumber slices.

Step 9

Arrange the cucumber rolls on a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
