Main Ingredients
- 1–2 firm, crisp fresh cucumbers
- 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat based on preference)
- 2–4 whole wheat or spinach wraps
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (dill or parsley), chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Optional Extras
- Cherry tomatoes, sliced
- Avocado slices
- Sliced bell peppers
- Sprouts
- Cooked chicken strips or smoked salmon (for added protein)
- Crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce (for a spicy kick)
- Prepare the Cucumber: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them thinly either lengthwise or into rounds to ensure the wrap rolls easily and every bite is crisp.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese with freshly chopped dill or parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful and creamy filling.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the wrap. Top with the sliced cucumbers and any optional extras such as cherry tomatoes or avocado.
- Roll it Up: Carefully fold the edges of the wrap and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Slice the wrap diagonally for easier handling and an attractive presentation.
Notes
- Choose firm cucumbers to prevent sogginess.
- If cottage cheese is watery, drain it gently to maintain a dry wrap.
- Use fresh herbs like dill or parsley for optimal flavor.
- Keep cucumbers and cottage cheese chilled before assembling for the best refreshing taste.
- Roll wraps tightly to keep filling secure and make eating easier.
