1. Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it lengthways into wide, thin strips with a vegetable peeler or mandoline.

3. Spread each strip thinly with cream cheese and drizzle with a few drops of lemon juice.

5. Roll up the cucumber strips tightly and serve the rolls straight away as a snack.

Good to know

Expecting guests or looking for an elegant snack for yourself? These little cucumber rolls look like sushi, but they're completely low-carb and made in no time.

Swaps

Smoked salmon → smoked trout (if you prefer a slightly milder, more local alternative to salmon).

Cooking tips

Use the firm flesh of the cucumber for the strips. The watery core in the middle doesn't roll well.

Storage

Only roll up the salmon shortly before eating, as the cucumber releases water very quickly and the rolls would otherwise go soft.

Allergens

Contains fish and milk (cream cheese); gluten-free, nut-free. Smoked salmon: avoid in pregnancy.
