Cucumber rolls with cream cheese

Print Recipe

Refreshing, bite-sized cucumber spirals filled with herbed cream cheese—perfect for quick summer appetizers or party platters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large English cucumbers, ends trimmed
  • 225 g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 Tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fresh chives, finely sliced
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt, or to taste
  • ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, slice the cucumbers lengthwise into long, thin ribbons about 2 mm thick. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, dill, chives, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper until smooth.
  3. Lay a cucumber ribbon flat. Spread a thin, even layer (about 1 tsp) of the cream-cheese mixture over the surface, leaving a ½ cm border at one end.
  4. Starting at the filled end, roll the cucumber strip snugly into a spiral, finishing seam-side down. Repeat with remaining ribbons and filling.
  5. Chill rolls 10 minutes to firm, then arrange on a platter and serve cold.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add a sliver of carrot or bell pepper before rolling.
  • Substitute whipped feta or goat cheese for a tangier flavor.
  • Best assembled the day of serving to keep cucumbers crisp.
