Ingredients:

• 1 large cucumber
• 4 oz smoked salmon, sliced into strips
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced into thin strips
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for a fresh zing)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for drizzling)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cucumber: Slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler or mandolin slicer. You should have long, thin ribbons of cucumber that are about 1/4 inch thick. If the strips are too long, you can trim them to a manageable size.
2. Prepare the Filling: Slice the avocado into thin strips and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. If desired, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the avocado slices to keep them from browning and to add a refreshing zing.
3. Assemble the Rolls: Lay one cucumber ribbon flat on a clean surface. Place a slice of smoked salmon in the center of the cucumber strip, followed by a few slices of avocado. Sprinkle with fresh dill for extra flavor and color, if desired.
4. Roll the Cucumber: Carefully roll up the cucumber ribbon around the salmon and avocado, securing the roll. Repeat this process with the remaining cucumber strips, salmon, and avocado.
5. Serve: Arrange the cucumber rolls on a platter, drizzle with olive oil (optional), and garnish with additional dill or a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or snack.

Expert Tips for the Recipe:

• Cucumber Strips: Make sure the cucumber slices are thin enough to roll easily without breaking. If you don’t have a mandolin slicer, you can use a sharp knife to cut the strips carefully.
• Smoked Salmon Variations: If you prefer, you can use other types of smoked fish, such as smoked trout or mackerel, for a different flavor.
• Add a Dipping Sauce: For extra flavor, you can serve these rolls with a side of soy sauce, a light vinaigrette, or a yogurt-based sauce for dipping.
• Make-Ahead: These rolls are best served fresh, but you can prepare them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to a couple of hours before serving.
