Preparation Time

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Assembly Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

1 large cucumber (English cucumber works best)
½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped
¼ cup shredded carrots (optional for crunch and color)
1 tablespoon chopped red onion (optional)
Whole-grain or lettuce wraps (optional for extra layering)

Instructions

Prepare the Cucumber:
Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin, slice it lengthwise into thin, ribbon-like strips. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Make the Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, Greek yogurt (if using), lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until creamy and smooth. Add chopped herbs, carrots, and red onion for extra flavor and crunch.
Assemble the Wraps:
Lay the cucumber ribbons slightly overlapping on a clean surface. Spoon a small amount of the cottage cheese mixture along one edge. Gently roll the cucumber up to form a wrap or pinwheel. Repeat until all the filling is used.
Chill & Serve:
Place the wraps on a plate and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes for best texture. Serve chilled, garnished with extra herbs and a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of chili flakes if you like some heat.

Tips & Variations

Add smoked salmon or grilled chicken for extra protein.
Replace cottage cheese with ricotta or hummus for a different twist.
Sprinkle chia or sesame seeds for added crunch and nutrients.
