Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the cucumber: Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it lengthwise into thin strips, ensuring they are flexible enough to roll easily without breaking.
- Combine the filling: In a medium bowl, mix the cottage cheese with chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined and creamy.
- Spread the mixture: Take each cucumber strip and spread a thin layer of the cottage cheese mixture evenly on one side using a spoon or spatula.
- Form the wraps: Carefully roll each cucumber strip lengthwise to create small wraps, securing the filling inside.
- Serve or chill: Serve the wraps immediately for a fresh taste, or optionally chill them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors and texture.
Notes
- Make sure the cucumber slices are thin but sturdy enough to hold the filling without tearing.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some crushed black pepper or paprika on the wraps before serving.
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
- Substitute fresh dill with chopped chives or parsley for a different herbal twist.
- This recipe is naturally gluten free, low in calories, and suitable for vegetarians.
