Red Meat Allergy Friendly Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
These elegant little roll-ups are proof that simple ingredients can feel genuinely impressive. Creamy mashed avocado — brightened with lemon juice, fresh dill, and chives — gets wrapped inside silky smoked salmon alongside a crisp cucumber matchstick for a bite that's cool, rich, and refreshing all at once. Because the whole recipe is built around fish, fresh produce, and herbs, there's no red meat anywhere near the equation, making it a naturally safe and satisfying choice for anyone navigating that allergy. The optional capers add a briny little punch if you're feeling fancy, but the roll-ups hold their own without them. They come together quickly with no cooking required, which means less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying a plate that looks like it came from a restaurant. Make a batch ahead and refrigerate them for up to an hour — they hold up beautifully and are just as good straight from the fridge.
