How to Make Smoked Salmon Pinwheels
These Smoked Salmon Pinwheels are so easy to make that you won’t want to wait for a special occasion to enjoy them! Here’s how to make them:
- Flavor the cream cheese
In a medium bowl, combine the whipped cream cheese, herbs, and garlic powder. If you purchase Garlic & Herb flavored whipped cream cheese, omit this step. - Spread the cream cheese
Place the tortilla warps on a flat surface. Spread the cream cheese over the wraps on a thin layer all the way to the edge -this will help seal the wrap. - Add the filling
Distribute the spinach or baby greens on top of the cream cheese, and place a thin layer of smoked salmon on top. - Roll and slice
Roll the wrap, beginning one end, tightly. With a serrated knife, slice the wraps in half, then into ½-inch rounds, discard the edges (or eat them!), if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve. - Assemble the appetizer
Place the tub of hummus on the board and distribute the smoked salmon pinwheels and veggies around it.
