Ingredients
Mini Logs
- 4 slices sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 8 slices Wild Alaska smoked salmon (cold smoked)
- 1/2 cup fresh goat cheese
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To Serve
- 4 handfuls arugula
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Crushed nuts (such as walnuts), for topping
- Additional chopped chives
Preparation
-
Step 1 Prep the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber and slice it thinly using a vegetable peeler. Lay the slices on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
-
Step 2 Make the Goat Cheese Spread
In a bowl, mix the goat cheese with lemon juice, chives, salt, and pepper until smooth and spreadable.
-
Step 3 Assemble the Layers
Flatten each slice of bread slightly with a rolling pin. On a piece of cling film, layer two slices of smoked salmon and place the bread on top. Spread a thin layer of goat cheese on the bread, add an even layer of cucumber slices, and top with another thin layer of goat cheese.
-
Step 4 Roll the Logs
Use the cling film to tightly roll each prepared slice into a compact log. Seal and twist the ends to secure.
-
Step 5 Chill
Refrigerate the logs for at least 30 minutes to set.
-
Step 6 Serve
Remove cling film. Place each mini log on a bed of arugula. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with crushed nuts and additional chives.
