    Cucumber rolls

    I just made these tonight for a cocktail party. They were tasty but I doubt I will ever make them in this form again. I used a julienne peeler to make the strips - not too hard but you waste the middle of the cuke.  I ended up using 4 cukes to make a double recipe.  A much faster way would be to do slices of cucumber topped with piped cream cheese and then topped with salmon and chives.  The added bonus too is you could get a nice piece of salmon on each one.  I ended cutting up my salmon in fine bits to sprinkle on top which was kind of tricky to because the little bits tended to stick together.

    Cucumber Rolls

    1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
    1-1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 teaspoon curry powder
    1 medium cucumber
    1/2 ounce smoked salmon or lox, cut into thin strips
    Kosher salt
    Coarsely ground pepper
    Chives

    In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, horseradish, garlic powder and curry;
    set aside. With a vegetable peeler or metal cheese slicer, cut 12 very thin
    slices down the length of the cucumber; pat dry. Spread about 1 teaspoon cream
    cheese mixture down the center of each cucumber slice. Roll up. Arrange salmon
    on top of rolls; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.

    Hi,

    I've made these, too. My guests thought the presentation with the Cucumber Rolls was fun. I used the leftover cucumber in this recipe:

    Salmon with Cucumber Sauce

    1 cup chopped peeled cucumber
    1/2 cup mayonnaise
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
    1/4 teaspoon grated onion
    1/4 teaspoon dill weed
    1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
    Dash salt
    4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)

    For sauce, in a bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Refrigerate
    until serving. Broil salmon 4-6 in. from the heat for 10-15 minutes
    or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with cucumber sauce.
     

    Yield: 4 servings (1-1/2 cups sauce).
