Chestnut Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
These elegant little roll-ups bring together silky smoked salmon, creamy avocado, and crisp cucumber in a bite-sized package that feels fancy enough for a dinner party but easy enough for a weeknight snack. The avocado filling gets brightness from fresh lemon juice and a herbaceous lift from chives and dill, making every roll genuinely vibrant and satisfying. Because the ingredient list is built entirely around whole, unprocessed foods, there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden fillers or unexpected tree nut derivatives — everything here is exactly what it looks like. Capers add a briny little pop if you're feeling bold, but the roll-ups hold their own without them. Rolling the salmon tightly around the cucumber matchstick gives each piece a satisfying crunch that plays beautifully against the rich, smooth avocado. They come together quickly and can be prepped up to an hour ahead, making them a genuinely stress-free option when you want something that looks like you tried much harder than you did.
