With only four ingredients and a quick prep time, this recipe is perfect for a light meal or a healthy snack. It’s fresh, tasty, and packed with good-for-you ingredients like avocado, smoked salmon, and spreadable cheese. Plus, it’s ready in just five minutes! Let’s get rolling!

Method in Detail

Prepare the Avocados

Start by cutting the ripe avocados in half, carefully removing the pit, and then slice each half thinly into even pieces. The slices should be thin enough to layer easily but not too thin to fall apart. Once sliced, arrange these avocado pieces in a single layer on a sheet of cling film, ensuring the slices overlap slightly. This will help create a cohesive roll once everything is wrapped up.

Spread the Cheese

Next, take the spreadable cheese and evenly spread it over the avocado slices. You can use a knife or a spatula to spread the cheese smoothly. This layer not only adds a rich, creamy texture but also serves as a binding agent, ensuring the smoked salmon stays in place when you roll the avocado slices. Make sure to cover the avocado evenly for the best taste with each bite.

Add the Smoked Salmon and Arugula

Once the cheese is spread, it’s time to layer the smoked salmon on top. Lay the slices of smoked salmon gently over the cheese, ensuring they cover the entire surface. If you’re using arugula, sprinkle it evenly over the salmon for a fresh, peppery crunch that complements the creamy avocado and smoky salmon perfectly. The arugula also adds a burst of color and nutrients to the dish.

Roll It Up

Now comes the fun part – rolling it up! Carefully use the cling film to lift the avocado slices and roll them tightly, keeping all the ingredients in place. Be sure not to roll too tightly, as this could cause the avocado to squish out of the sides. You want to create a snug roll that holds everything together but doesn’t distort the delicate avocado slices. If you want your roll to be a bit firmer, you can place it in the fridge for about an hour, which will help set the roll and make it easier to slice.

Serve and Enjoy

After allowing the roll to rest in the fridge for an hour (or if you’re too eager to wait, you can skip this step and enjoy right away!), unwrap the cling film and slice your avocado roll into 8 bite-sized pieces. Arrange the pieces on a plate, and they’re ready to be served! Whether you’re eating them immediately or after some time in the fridge, these rolls make for a delicious snack or light meal. Enjoy them as is or with a side of soy sauce for dipping!

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados

  • 100g spreadable cheese

  • 200g smoked salmon

  • Arugula (optional, but adds a fresh crunch!)

Directions

  • Prepare the Avocados: Start by cutting the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and slice them thinly. Arrange the slices in a layer on a sheet of cling film.
  • Spread the Cheese: Take the spreadable cheese and evenly spread it on top of the avocado slices. This will give a creamy base for the salmon to stick to.
  • Add the Smoked Salmon and Arugula: Layer the smoked salmon on top of the cheese. If you like a bit of fresh flavor, throw on some arugula! The peppery taste of arugula complements the smooth avocado perfectly.
  • Roll It Up: Carefully roll the avocado slices tightly using the cling film. Make sure it’s snug but not too tight. If you prefer a firmer roll, let it rest in the fridge for about an hour.
  • Serve and Enjoy: After an hour (or immediately if you’re too excited to wait!), slice your avocado roll into 8 pieces and serve! These bites are perfect on their own or as part of a fresh meal.

Notes

  • Handling the Avocado: Be careful when slicing the avocado. The skin is slippery, so make sure to cut carefully and use a stable surface.
  • Rolling Tightness: Don’t roll the ingredients too tightly, or it might squish the avocado slices out of place. A light roll will keep everything intact.
  • Resting Time: If you prefer a firmer roll, resting it in the fridge for an hour helps the cheese set. However, you can absolutely enjoy it right away if you’re in a rush!

Serving Suggestions

  • As an appetizer – Serve with a side of soy sauce for a sushi-like vibe.
  • On a salad – Place your avocado rolls on a bed of greens for a quick salad.
  • With a dipping sauce – Try a creamy dill or a tangy lemon dressing for extra flavor.
