Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Wraps

  • 2 large cucumbers

For the Filling

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cucumbers: Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice the cucumbers lengthwise into thin, flexible ribbons. Pat them dry with paper towels to prevent the wraps from becoming soggy.
  2. Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, chopped dill, chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until evenly mixed. If desired, fold in diced tomatoes or red bell pepper for added crunch and flavor.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay two or three cucumber ribbons slightly overlapping on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cottage cheese filling at one short end, then gently roll up the cucumber around the filling to form a wrap.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the wraps seam-side down on a platter. Garnish with extra herbs if desired. Serve immediately for maximum freshness.

Notes

  • Use English or Persian cucumbers for thin, tender wraps with fewer seeds.
  • Dry the cucumber ribbons thoroughly to avoid watery wraps.
  • These are best made fresh, as cucumber moisture can soften them over time.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for half the cottage cheese for a tangier flavor.
  • Feel free to add other fresh herbs like parsley or mint to customize your wraps.
