Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 firm, fresh cucumbers
- 1 cup low-fat or regular cottage cheese
- 4 whole wheat or spinach wraps
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as dill or parsley), chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the cucumber: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, then slice them into thin, even strips or rounds depending on your preferred texture and presentation. This ensures every bite has the perfect crisp crunch.
- Mix the filling: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese with freshly chopped herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to blend all the flavors while keeping a creamy consistency.
- Warm the wraps: Briefly warm your chosen wraps in a dry pan or microwave for about 10 seconds to make them soft and pliable, which makes rolling easier without cracking.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay each wrap flat and spread an even layer of the cottage cheese mixture. Next, evenly arrange the cucumber slices on top, ensuring they cover the surface without overcrowding.
- Roll and secure: Roll the wraps tightly but gently to avoid squeezing out the filling. If needed, you can slice them into bite-sized pinwheels or keep them whole for a classic wrap experience.
Notes
- Choose firm cucumbers to avoid sogginess.
- Drain cottage cheese if very wet for a thicker filling.
- Chill assembled wraps briefly before serving to enhance flavors and firmness.
- Use fresh herbs for best flavor.
- Wrap tightly to prevent filling from falling out.
