Ingredients

• 1 whole English cucumber
• 1 cup Whole30 compliant mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 ounces Smoked salmon
• 2 tablespoons Chives

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the English cucumber thoroughly. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Using a vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber into long, wide strips. You should have about 16 strips suitable for small tea sandwiches, depending on the thickness of your cucumber.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine Whole30 compliant mayonnaise, fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a smooth, flavorful spread.

Step 4

Take one cucumber slice and spread a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of the dill mayonnaise mixture evenly across it.

Step 5

Place a small slice of smoked salmon, about 1/4 ounce, over the mayonnaise spread on the cucumber slice.

Step 6

Roll the cucumber slice carefully, securing the smoked salmon inside to form a small, rolled sandwich.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining cucumber slices, dill mayonnaise, and smoked salmon until all rolls are assembled.

Step 8

Arrange the sandwiches neatly on a serving plate.

Step 9

Sprinkle chopped chives over the top for garnish before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or part of an afternoon tea.
