Ingredients
Scale
Wrap and Filling
- 2 burrito style spinach wraps (or any burrito-size wraps)
- 4–6 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- ½ tablespoon chives, chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2–3 cups fresh spinach
- 4–6 ounces smoked salmon
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Spread: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, chopped chives, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and all the ingredients are well blended.
- Spread the Cream Cheese: Lay out both spinach wraps flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture onto each wrap, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges. Be sure to spread the cream cheese all the way to one edge on one side, which will help seal the pinwheel when rolled.
- Add Spinach and Salmon: Evenly distribute the fresh spinach leaves over the cream cheese on each wrap. Then layer the smoked salmon evenly on top of the spinach, ensuring each wrap is loaded for flavor.
- Roll the Wraps: Tightly roll up each wrap, making sure to tuck in the sides as you go to keep the fillings contained. Rolling tightly is important so that the pinwheels will hold together well when sliced.
- Slice into Pinwheels: Using a small serrated knife, trim the edges off the wraps to give clean ends. Then cut each wrap into approximately ½ inch thick rounds. Each wrap will yield about 7-8 pinwheels, totaling 14-16 pieces.
- Serve: Place the pinwheels on a serving platter. They can be served as is or secured with toothpicks for easy handling. These pinwheels serve about 4 people and are perfect for entertaining or a light, satisfying snack.
