With the holidays, there are so many parties on the calendar. We’re always looking for elegant and simple appetizers for parties. This one is perfect for New Year’s Eve, especially if you’re tired of cooking like we are. We love fish, so when we found this recipe for smoked salmon rolls in one of our favorite books, we wanted to share it with you. Plus, it’s a great option for friends who are gluten-free.
Simply make the cheese filling and roll inside of thin slices of smoked salmon. We served them with a crisp white wine and offered cocktail picks. We fell in love with these snail picks. They are one of our favorite new things (and would make a great gift). Other ones we love include these, these, and these.
