Dairy Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
These elegant little roll-ups are proof that impressive appetizers don't need a long ingredient list or a hot stove. Silky smoked salmon wraps around a creamy avocado filling brightened with lemon juice, fresh chives, and dill — every bite is cool, herbaceous, and deeply satisfying. The avocado does all the heavy lifting here, delivering that rich, luscious texture you'd normally expect from a cream cheese spread, so nothing feels missing. Thin cucumber matchsticks tucked inside add a clean crunch that keeps each roll from feeling too dense. Capers are optional but highly recommended — their briny pop takes the whole thing to another level. These come together quickly and look stunning on a platter, making them ideal for entertaining or a light lunch when you want something that feels a little special. Make them up to an hour ahead and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
