gardas:
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.

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).

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.

Yield: 1 dozen.

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.
