Ingredients
- 2 pieces large cucumbers
- 0.5 cup coconut cashew cheese
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 whole lemon
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 pieces toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin, slice the cucumbers lengthwise into thin, wide ribbons. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the coconut cashew cheese with finely chopped fresh dill. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the mixture. Add black pepper to taste and stir until well combined.
Step 3
Lay out a cucumber ribbon on a clean, flat surface. Spread a thin layer of the coconut cashew cheese mixture over the entire length of the cucumber strip.
Step 4
Place a small piece of smoked salmon on one end of the cucumber ribbon, making sure it is centered.
Step 5
Gently roll the cucumber from the salmon end, rolling towards the opposite end to form a tight cylinder.
Step 6
Secure the roll by inserting a toothpick through the center.
Step 7
Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber ribbons and fillings.
Step 8
Arrange the completed cucumber rolls on a serving platter. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges for garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately, or chill and serve within an hour for optimal freshness.
