Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
These little roll-ups are the kind of no-cook appetizer that looks far more impressive than the effort required. Silky smoked salmon wraps around a creamy mashed avocado filling brightened with fresh lemon juice, chives, and dill, with a crisp cucumber matchstick tucked inside for a satisfying crunch in every bite. The whole thing comes together in minutes — no oven, no stovetop, just a cutting board and a bowl. Because every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, there's no need to scan labels for sneaky grains, dairy, or legumes hiding in a sauce or spread. The avocado does the heavy lifting as a rich, naturally creamy base that holds the roll together beautifully without any cheese or cream. Optional capers add a briny pop that takes the flavor up a notch if you have them on hand. At four servings, this is an easy crowd-pleaser for a gathering or a light lunch that feels genuinely elegant.
