Pecan Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
These elegant little bites bring together silky smoked salmon, creamy avocado, and crisp cucumber in a roll-up that feels like something you'd order at a fancy appetizer spread — except you made it in your own kitchen. The avocado filling gets brightness from fresh lemon juice and a herbaceous lift from chives and dill, so every bite is layered and satisfying without being heavy. A few capers tucked inside add a briny pop that plays beautifully against the richness of the fish. The whole thing comes together with no cooking required, just a little assembly, which makes it perfect for entertaining or a quick protein-packed snack. Every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no need to scan labels or worry about hidden additives sneaking into your spread. These roll-ups hold up well in the fridge for up to an hour, making them a genuinely stress-free option when you're prepping ahead for guests.
