Smoked Salmon Roses
Yield: Makes 32 servings
This beautiful appetizer doesn't look or taste like health food, but salmon is an excellent source of the omega-3 fatty acids that experts believe are so important to heart health.

1
package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1
tablespoon prepared horseradish
1
tablespoon minced fresh dill plus whole sprigs
1
tablespoon half-and-half
16
slices (12 to 16 ounces) smoked salmon
1
red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
Preparation:
1.
Combine cream cheese, horseradish, minced dill and half-and-half in small bowl. Beat until light and creamy.
2.
Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture over each salmon slice. Roll up jelly-roll fashion. Slice each roll in half crosswise. Arrange salmon rolls, cut sides down, on serving dish to resemble roses. Garnish each "rose" by tucking 1 pepper strip and 1 dill sprig into center.
