Almond Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
These little roll-ups are the kind of appetizer that disappears from the plate before you even sit down. Silky smoked salmon wraps around a creamy avocado filling brightened with lemon juice, fresh chives, and dill — every bite is cool, herbaceous, and just a little briny. The cucumber matchstick tucked inside adds a satisfying crunch that makes the whole thing feel surprisingly substantial for something so elegant. Tree nut concerns are completely off the table here, since every ingredient is naturally whole and clean — no hidden nut-based fillers, flours, or oils anywhere in the recipe. They come together without any cooking at all, which means you can have a stunning platter ready in minutes. A few capers stirred in take the flavor even deeper if you want that extra punch of saltiness. Make them just before serving or stash them in the fridge for up to an hour — either way, they hold up beautifully.
