It’s time to bring out your fancy tableware. The nice dishes you registered for hardly ever get table time, after all. But these zucchini rolls up with salmon salad deserve the elegant setting. No ordinary serving dishes will do because these are no ordinary roll ups. Instead of mayonnaise in the salmon salad, chickpeas are used as a binder, giving the salad a unique texture and sophisticated flavor that compliments the softened, grilled zucchini. This dish makes a delightful appetizer for dinner or high tea.
