Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
