Description
Light, refreshing, and protein-packed, these cucumber cottage cheese wraps are perfect for a quick lunch, healthy snack, or elegant appetizer.
Ingredients
- 
1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced lengthwise into thin ribbons 
- 
1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat) 
- 
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped 
- 
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional) 
- 
Pinch of salt and black pepper 
- 
Paprika or olive oil for garnish (optional) 
Instructions
- 
Peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise into thin ribbons with a mandoline or vegetable peeler. Lay the ribbons on paper towels to absorb excess moisture. 
- 
In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese with dill, lemon juice (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. 
- 
Place one cucumber ribbon on a clean surface, add a spoonful of filling at one end, then roll tightly into a wrap. Repeat with remaining slices. 
- 
Arrange wraps on a platter and garnish with extra dill, a sprinkle of paprika, or a drizzle of olive oil before serving. 
Notes
Best enjoyed fresh, but the cottage cheese filling can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated. Avoid freezing as cucumbers lose texture. Serve as a snack, appetizer, or side dish with grilled meat or salad.
