Need an easy, make-ahead appetizer for your Oscar-watching party that will please your friends who are following low carb or dairy-free diets? Try these fancy-looking Smoked Salmon Cucumber Rolls.
When you trim the salmon and julienne the cucumber, make sure your strips of salmon are just a bit narrower than your strips of cucumber. You want some cucumber to poke out of each end.
These portable salmon rolls also make a great lunch when paired with a spinach salad and are the perfect high-protein pre-gym snack.
If you like this idea, you might also like Smoked Salmon with Dill-Mustard Sauce or Smoked Salmon Spread.
