Peanut Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
These elegant little bites bring together silky smoked salmon, creamy avocado, and crisp cucumber in a roll that feels like something you'd order at a fancy appetizer spread — except you made it yourself in minutes. The herby avocado filling is brightened with fresh lemon juice, chives, and dill, giving every bite a clean, vibrant flavor that pairs beautifully with the rich, salty salmon. Because the whole recipe is built around whole, naturally sourced ingredients, there's no need to scan labels for hidden additives or worry about cross-contact from shared processing lines. The optional capers add a briny little pop that takes the flavor up a notch without complicating anything. These roll-ups come together quickly and look genuinely impressive on a plate, making them just as suited for a casual weeknight snack as they are for entertaining guests. Store-bought appetizers in this category can be surprisingly hit-or-miss, so having a reliable homemade version in your back pocket is a real win.
