Smoked Salmon Pinwheels


These smoked salmon pinwheels are colorful, delicious and perfect for a hot summer day. You can use the herbs suggested here, or substitute your own favourites. They make excellent gourmet picnic fare.


Ingredients:

4 tablespoons light cream cheese (room temp.)
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh herbs:
chives, dill, and/or parsley
4 oz. (60 g) thin-sliced smoked salmon
1/2 English cucumber
2 - 10-inch flour tortillas (preferably whole wheat)

In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese and your favourite herbs until well blended. Spread the herbed cream cheese on the tortilla all the way to the edges. Cover with salmon slices. Arrange thinly sliced (unpeeled) cucumber over the salmon.

Tightly roll up the tortilla and trim the ends. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 15 minutes (up to 4 hours). Remove the plastic wrap and cut the roll into 8 slices.

Smoked salmon pinwheels can then be put into a resealable container and taken along to your picnic. Keep chilled until serving time.
