Slice cucumber lengthwise into 20 thin slices with a mandoline or Japanese slicer. Trim the smoked salmon pieces to fit the cucumber slices. Spread a cucumber slice with some caper- cream cheese spread and top with a slice of smoked salmon. Starting at one end, roll the cucumber and salmon slices and secure with a toothpick.
For the caper-cream cheese spread:
Mix cream cheese and capers together in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Makes about 20 ribbons.
