Ingredients
- 1 whole English cucumber
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 ounces Vegetarian smoked salmon substitute
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the English cucumber thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips. Aim for 16 good slices and set them aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and evenly mixed.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until the dill is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 4
Lay a cucumber slice flat and spread about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface.
Step 5
Place a piece of the vegetarian smoked salmon substitute at one end of the cucumber slice.
Step 6
Carefully roll the cucumber slice around the smoked salmon substitute, starting from the end with the salmon, creating a tight roll.
Step 7
Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber slices, cream cheese mixture, and vegetarian smoked salmon.
Step 8
Arrange the cucumber rolls on a serving platter. For an extra decorative touch, garnish each roll with a small sprig of dill.
Step 9
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
