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

Instructions

 

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.

Make the Goat Cheese Spread

• In a bowl, mix the goat cheese with lemon juice, chives, salt, and pepper until smooth and spreadable.

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.

Roll the Logs

• Use the cling film to tightly roll each prepared slice into a compact log.
• Seal and twist the ends to secure.

Chill

• Refrigerate the logs for at least 30 minutes to set.

Serve

• Remove cling film.
• Place each mini log on a bed of arugula.
• Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with crushed nuts and additional chives.
