Celery Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
Silky smoked salmon wrapped around a creamy avocado filling is the kind of appetizer that looks like it came from a fancy restaurant but comes together in minutes on your own cutting board. The avocado gets mashed with bright lemon juice, fresh chives, and dill, creating a herbaceous spread that pairs beautifully with the rich, salty salmon. A thin matchstick of cucumber tucked inside each roll adds a satisfying crunch, and a few capers bring a briny little pop if you're feeling it. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of celery and celery derivatives — no hidden stalks, seeds, or celery salt lurking in a sauce or seasoning blend. These roll-ups are also a great fit for anyone eating grain-free or ancestral-style, since the whole recipe leans on whole, unprocessed foods without any fillers or starches. They hold up well in the fridge for about an hour, making them a genuinely stress-free option for entertaining or a quick high-protein snack.
