Legume Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
These elegant little bites bring together silky smoked salmon, creamy herb-flecked avocado, and crisp cucumber in a roll that looks impressive but comes together with almost no effort. The avocado filling gets brightness from fresh lemon juice and a fragrant lift from chives and dill, making every bite feel fresh and a little luxurious. Because the whole recipe is built around whole-food proteins, healthy fats, and fresh produce, there's nothing here that sneaks in legumes — no hidden bean-based fillers, no soy, no pea protein to second-guess. Capers are optional but worth it if you want a briny little pop that plays beautifully against the rich salmon. The roll-ups hold together neatly and can be prepped up to an hour ahead, which makes them a genuinely stress-free option for entertaining or a quick high-protein snack. Clean, vibrant, and naturally satisfying — this is the kind of recipe that earns a permanent spot in your rotation.
