5-Ingredient Salmon Mousse Cucumber Rolls

5-Ingredient Salmon Mousse Cucumber Rolls

These Salmon Mousse Cucumber Rolls make a great low carb/keto friendly party appetizer! I’ve also been known to eat these for breakfast as well since smoked salmon is one of my favorite foods! If you’re dairy free I’ve had great luck using an almond based cream cheese alternative like Kite Hill.

Sometimes I’ll add some capers and red onion to the mousse too but this version is classic, simple, and totally delicious.
