→ For the Wraps

• 1 large lavash bread → Or an extra-large tortilla. This thin, soft flatbread is the perfect canvas.
• 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese → Whipped cream cheese is lighter and much easier to spread than a block. Chive or herb cream cheese would also be delicious!
• A handful of baby greens → Peppery arugula or tender baby spinach are perfect choices.
• 1–2 Turkish cucumbers, thinly sliced into ribbons → A vegetable peeler is the perfect tool for this.
• 4 ounces wild smoked salmon (lox) → The silky, savory star of the show.
• 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced → For a creamy, rich texture.
• 1–2 tablespoons capers, drained → For a perfect, briny, salty pop.
• 1–2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced → For a sharp, crunchy bite.
• 2–4 tablespoons fresh dill → The essential fresh, herbaceous partner to salmon.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 lavash bread (roughly 10×12 inches) or an extra-large tortilla
• 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
• 1 handful baby greens (arugula or spinach)
• 1–2 Turkish cucumbers, thinly sliced into ribbons
• 4 ounces wild smoked salmon (lox)
• 1/2 avocado, sliced
• 1–2 tablespoons capers
• 1–2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
• 2–4 tablespoons fresh dill
• 1/2 lemon, zested

Equipment

• Cutting Board
• Sharp serrated knife
• Mandolin or vegetable peeler

Method

 

Part 1: Layer the Wrap

1. Place lavash bread on the counter. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream cheese all the way to the edges.
2. Layer the greens over the cream cheese, leaving a 2-inch bare edge along the top. Add the cucumber ribbons, avocado slices, and smoked salmon.
3. Sprinkle the capers, red onion, and fresh dill evenly over the top. Zest the lemon over the entire area.

Part 2: Roll and Serve

1. Starting from the edge closest to you, tightly roll the lavash into a snug log.
2. Place the roll seam-side down on a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice into 1 to 1 ½ inch thick pinwheels.
3. Arrange on a platter and serve.

Notes

Roll Tightly: For pinwheels that hold their shape, be sure to roll the lavash up as snugly as you can from the start.

Use a Serrated Knife: A serrated (bread) knife is the best tool for slicing the roll into clean pinwheels without squishing them.

Make Ahead: For best results, keep the roll whole and tightly wrapped in plastic in the fridge. Slice into individual pinwheels just before serving to keep the edges fresh.
