Ingredients
- 8 ounces smoked salmon I like Nova Lox, cold, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces cream cheese 1/3 less fat
- 1/4 cucumber cut into matchsticks, medium
- 2 tablespoons onion red, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers (drained)
- 1/2 lemon (sliced thin)
Instructions
- Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on a work surface.
- Arrange the slices of salmon in an overlapping fashion to create a rectangle about 6 inches wide by 12 inches long, with one of the longest sides facing you.
- Gently spread the cream cheese over the salmon trying not to dislodge any of the pieces. Lay the cucumber along one side of the rectangle about 1/2 inch from the edge.
- Using the plastic wrap to guide you, roll the salmon up tightly around the cucumber sticks. Refrigerate until firm at least 30 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 16 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Sprinkle with red onion and capers and serve with lemon slices.
