The COLD ZUCCHINI ROLLS are a fresh and tasty appetizer or summer snack that is easy and quick to make, with delicious grilled zucchini slices filled with robiola cheese and salmon, rolled up and crunchy on the outside with a creamy, flavorful center. You can prepare the cold zucchini rolls with creamy fresh cheese in no time, serve them at a dinner with friends, and they will be snatched up, but it’s also a perfect recipe for a savory snack. I used Roman zucchini, which remain crunchier even after grilling; I find them absolutely tastier for this recipe. But if you use green zucchini, that’s fine too. The beauty of this recipe is that you can grill the zucchini beforehand and fill them at the last minute, or prepare the rolls even the day before and store them in the fridge.

Steps
To prepare these tasty cold rolls, start by washing the zucchini. I recommend using large zucchini, remove both ends, and then slice them thinly lengthwise with the help of a mandoline.
Once the zucchini are sliced, heat a pan or grill, and cook the zucchini slices evenly, then place them on a plate to cool. Meanwhile, prepare the filling cream; in a bowl, put the robiola cheese and work it for a few seconds with a fork to mash it a little.
Add the pink pepper, crushed or if you prefer, ground. Then add the chopped parsley and nicely chopped salmon. Give the cream a good stir to combine everything. Take the zucchini, fill all slices with the robiola and salmon cream, roll the filled slices to create rolls, and place them all on a plate. Serve them immediately or store them in the fridge.
