Turmeric Free Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
These little roll-ups are the kind of appetizer that disappears from the plate before you even sit down. Creamy mashed avocado brightened with lemon juice, fresh chives, and dill gets wrapped in silky smoked salmon alongside a crisp cucumber matchstick — the textures and flavors are genuinely addictive. Every ingredient here is clean and whole-food, which makes them a natural fit for a grain-free, paleo-style spread without any compromise on taste. Avoiding turmeric is effortless with this recipe since nothing in it calls for that spice — no hidden blends, no curry-adjacent seasonings, just bright herbs and briny fish. The optional capers add a punchy, salty pop that takes each bite to the next level, but the roll-ups hold their own without them too. They come together quickly and can be prepped up to an hour ahead, making them a stress-free choice for entertaining or a light, protein-rich snack any day of the week.
