Ingredients
  

2 large cucumbers

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 cup thinly sliced smoked salmon (or turkey slices for a turkey option)

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into strips

½ cup arugula or fresh spinach

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: capers for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumbers:

    - Begin by thoroughly washing the cucumbers under cool running water.

      - Trim off both ends and carefully slice them lengthwise into thin strips, aiming for approximately 1/8 inch in thickness.

        - For a creative twist, use a vegetable peeler to create wider ribbons which can provide a more elegant wrap.

          Make the Cream Cheese Filling:

            - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

              - Use a spatula to blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.

                Assemble the Wraps:

                  - Take a cucumber slice or ribbon and place it flat on a clean cutting board.

                    - Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese filling on one side of the cucumber.

                      - Layer a slice of smoked salmon (or turkey), followed by a few strips of red bell pepper, and a handful of arugula or spinach for freshness.

                        Roll it Up:

                          - Gently roll the cucumber slice from one end to the other, tucking in the filling as you go to secure everything inside.

                            - If you are using ribbons, slightly overlap them while rolling for a secure wrap.

                              Slice and Serve:

                                - Once rolled, you may secure the wrap with a toothpick if needed.

                                  - Cut the rolls into bite-sized pieces for easy consumption.

                                    - Arrange the pieces on a serving platter and sprinkle with capers for an added touch of flavor, if desired.

                                      Enjoy:

                                        - Serve the wraps chilled for a refreshing appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion!
