Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 firm, straight fresh cucumbers
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (dill, chives, or parsley), finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cucumbers: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. The thinner the slices, the easier they will roll without cracking.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese with finely chopped herbs, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay a cucumber slice flat on a clean surface and spread a spoonful of the cottage cheese mixture evenly along one edge. Carefully roll up the cucumber slice to enclose the filling, securing the shape.
  4. Chill and Serve: Place the roll-ups on a serving plate and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled for a refreshing bite.

Notes

  • Pick firm cucumbers to prevent sogginess and keep the roll-ups intact.
  • Slice evenly using a mandoline for consistent thin slices to make rolling easier.
  • Pat cucumber slices dry with paper towels to avoid watery roll-ups.
  • Season the filling well with salt and herbs to bring out the best flavors.
  • Prepare the filling in advance to speed up assembly during snack time or entertaining.
  • Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but consume fresh for maximum crunch.
  • Freezing is not recommended due to cucumber’s high water content which affects texture.
  • These roll-ups are best served cold; warming the cottage cheese separately is an option if desired.
