Smoked Salmon Pinwheels

Ingredients
For the salmon wraps:
- 8 ounces whipped cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, chives or dill
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 large tortillas/wraps
- 3 cups baby spinach or field greens
- 8-12 ounces smoked salmon
For the appetizer board:
- 4 oz tub hummus
- 2 cups sugar snap peas
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 cups baby carrots
Instructions
Flavor the cream cheese:
- In a medium bowl, combine the whipped cream cheese, herbs, and garlic powder. Omit this step if you purchase Garlic & Herb flavored whipped cream cheese.
Make the pinwheels:
- Place the tortilla wraps 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.
- Distribute the spinach or baby greens on top of the cream cheese, and place a thin layer of smoked salmon on top.
- 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.
Prep ahead:
- These smoked salmon pinwheels can be made a day ahead of time and kept in the fridge, wrapped in plastic wrap. When you're ready to assemble the board, slice them into pinwheels.
