Mushroom Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
Silky smoked salmon wrapped around creamy avocado and crisp cucumber — these little roll-ups are the kind of appetizer that disappears from the plate before you even sit down. The avocado filling gets brightness from fresh lemon juice and a generous hit of chives and dill, so every bite tastes clean, herby, and genuinely satisfying. Because the whole recipe is built around whole, unprocessed ingredients, there's no need to scan labels for hidden fillers or fungi-derived additives that can sneak into packaged snacks and sauces. The optional capers add a briny pop that plays beautifully against the richness of the salmon and avocado — worth including if you have them on hand. Rolling them up is easier than it looks: just spread, tuck, and roll, and you've got a tidy little cylinder that holds together nicely. They work as an elegant starter, a protein-packed lunch, or an impressive addition to any spread where you want something that looks like you tried hard but actually took minutes.
