Tree Nut Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
Smoked salmon and creamy avocado are a match made in appetizer heaven, and these little roll-ups deliver that combination in a fresh, elegant bite. The avocado gets mashed with lemon juice, chives, and dill until it's silky but still has a little texture, then it's spread right onto the salmon before rolling up with a crisp cucumber matchstick tucked inside. Every element here is naturally whole and clean — no grains, no dairy, no legumes, and absolutely nothing that comes anywhere near a tree nut. That makes them a genuinely easy choice for anyone navigating mixed dietary needs at a gathering, since there's no label-reading required. The optional capers add a briny little pop that takes the flavor up a notch without complicating anything. They come together quickly and look impressive on a platter, which is a rare and wonderful combination. Make them up to an hour ahead and keep them chilled — they hold up beautifully and disappear even faster.
