Tzatziki Avocado Salmon Rolls are the perfect party appetizer. They're totally delicious, easy to make, super pretty, and healthy. Bonus: they can be made ahead of time!
2tablespoonsminced chives, divided (plus extra whole chives for garnish)
Juice from ¼ lime
½ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
5oz(150 gram) wild smoked salmon (lox)
1English cucumber, cut into 8 thin strips (with the seeds removed and 12 rounds)
2tablespoonssesame seeds, I like a mix of white and black
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the Summer Fresh Extra Thick Tzatziki, 1 teaspoon of the minced chives, and the lime juice.
2 tablespoons Summer Fresh Extra Thick Tzatziki, Juice from ¼ lime
Lay a piece of plastic wrap (about 16 inches long) on your table. Place the smoked salmon on top of the plastic, overlapping the pieces to make a 12" x 7" rectangle. Pat them down gently so they stick together.
5 oz (150 gram) wild smoked salmon (lox)
Spread the tzatziki over the salmon. Lay the avocado slices down the center of the salmon, top with the cucumber strips, and sprinkle the remaining chives over the top.
½ ripe avocado
Using the plastic to help you, roll the salmon tightly then sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top.
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
OPTIONAL STEP: refrigerate the roll for 15 minutes to make slicing it easier.
Slice the salmon roll into 12 pieces, place them on cucumber slices, and top with 2 small chives on each.
Notes
These salmon rolls are nice served on crunchy rice crackers, too!Make these up to 4 hours before a party and slice them just before serving.See the recipe on Summer Fresh, here.
