Salmon Cream Cheese Nut Hors D'oeuvres Roll

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Plan ahead the salmon mixture needs to chill for 3 hours to blend and firm up. You can make the roll up to 24 hours in advance, or freeze the logs, then thaw in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This is the most delicious salmon roll, it tastes like smoked salmon (lox) but at a fraction of the price lol! make this for your next get together, everyone will rave! Adjust all amount to taste if desired. Serve with crackers or crostini."
