How to Make It

Get ready to create a refreshing snack quickly.

Slice

Slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips. Aim for slices that are about 1/4 inch thick for easy rolling.

Scoop

Scoop out some of the seeds from the center to create a small pocket. This will help prevent the wraps from becoming too watery.

Mix

Mix the cottage cheese with salt, pepper, and chopped herbs in a bowl. Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.

Spoon

Spoon the cottage cheese mixture onto the cucumber strips. Make sure to fill the pocket sufficiently for flavor in every bite.

Add

Add optional toppings like diced cherry tomatoes or bell peppers if desired. This step can add extra flavor and texture.

Roll

Roll the cucumber strips up tightly and secure them with a toothpick. This keeps everything together for easy eating.

Serve

Serve immediately as a refreshing snack. Enjoy the crispness and creaminess in each bite!

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
