Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 English cucumber
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
- Everything bagel seasoning
- 4 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients. Wash the cucumber and gather the cream cheese, dill (if using), everything bagel seasoning, and smoked salmon.
- Slice the cucumber. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber lengthwise into long, thin strips.
- Remove excess moisture. Layer the cucumber slices slightly overlapping on paper towels and gently pat them dry.
- Spread the cream cheese. Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese evenly over the cucumber slices.
- Add seasoning and salmon. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the cream cheese, then layer thin slices of smoked salmon on top.
- Roll the cucumber strips. Carefully roll each cucumber strip into a tight spiral.
- Chill the rolls. Refrigerate the rolls for at least 30 minutes so the flavors meld and the rolls firm up.
- Slice and serve. Slice the rolls into bite-size pieces and arrange on a serving platter before serving.
Notes
- English cucumbers work best because they are long and have fewer seeds.
- Patting the cucumber slices dry helps prevent the rolls from becoming watery.
- Chill the rolls before slicing to help them hold their shape.
- These are best served the same day they are made.
