Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 4 oz smoked salmon
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon capers
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large lettuce leaves, 4 oz smoked salmon, 1/2 avocado (sliced), 1/4 cup cream cheese, 1/4 cup cucumber (thinly sliced), and 1 tablespoon capers.
- Rinse the lettuce leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat them dry gently with a paper towel to avoid tearing.
- On a clean cutting board, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into thin slices.
- Take one lettuce leaf and lay it flat on a clean surface. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of cream cheese evenly over the surface of the leaf.
- Place a few slices of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese, ensuring they cover the leaf without overlapping too much.
- Add several slices of cucumber on top of the smoked salmon for a refreshing crunch.
- Next, arrange a few slices of avocado on top of the cucumber.
- Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of capers over the avocado for a burst of flavor.
- Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaf inward, then roll the leaf from the bottom up to create a wrap. Make sure to tuck in the sides as you roll to secure the filling.
- Repeat the process with the remaining lettuce leaves and ingredients to create a total of 2 wraps.
- Once all wraps are prepared, you can cut them in half for easier handling or serve them whole. Enjoy your Smoked Salmon Veggie Wraps fresh!
Tips
- Choose crisp, large lettuce leaves like butter lettuce or romaine for the best wrap texture.
- Pat all ingredients dry to prevent soggy wraps and ensure a perfect roll.
- Use high-quality smoked salmon for the most robust flavor profile.
- If preparing in advance, wrap individually in plastic wrap to maintain freshness.
- For added flavor, consider a light drizzle of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh dill.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier spreading.
- Don't overfill your wraps—moderation is key to a neat, easy-to-eat wrap.
