Cucumber and Cottage Cheese Roll-Ups
Cucumber and Cottage Cheese Roll-Ups offer a delightful combination of crunch and creaminess. The refreshing cucumber acts as a wrap for the tangy cottage cheese mixture, resulting in a satisfying and healthful treat.
INGREDIENTS
- English cucumber
- Cottage cheese (unsweetened)
- Fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, or chives)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Sliced smoked salmon or turkey for added protein and flavor
INSTRUCTIONS
Wash the cucumber and trim the ends. Using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline slicer, create long, thin strips of cucumber.
Gently pat the cucumber strips dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese with chopped fresh herbs of your choice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Lay out a cucumber strip on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the cucumber.
If using, place a slice of smoked salmon or turkey on top of the cottage cheese.
Carefully roll up the cucumber strip, enclosing the cottage cheese and optional protein. Repeat this process with the remaining cucumber strips and cottage cheese mixture.
Arrange the Cucumber and Cottage Cheese Roll-Ups on a serving platter.
Serve:
Serve the Cucumber and Cottage Cheese Roll-Ups as a light and refreshing appetizer, snack, or light lunch.

TIPS
Customize the flavors by using different herbs and seasonings for the cottage cheese mixture.
