Chicken Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
Smoked salmon and creamy avocado are a match made in flavor heaven, and rolling them together with fresh herbs and crisp cucumber makes for a bite that feels genuinely special. The avocado filling comes together in minutes — just mash it with lemon juice, chives, and dill until it's silky with a little texture still intact. Each roll-up gets a cool cucumber matchstick tucked inside for crunch, and a few briny capers on top if you want that extra punch of flavor. These are naturally free from poultry in any form, so there's no swapping or substituting needed — the recipe just works as written. Whether you're putting together a party platter or a quick protein-packed snack, twelve tidy little rolls come together fast and look far more impressive than the effort involved. They hold up well in the fridge for about an hour, which makes them a solid make-ahead option when you're entertaining.
