Eat | Cucumber Roll with Feta
Ingredients
- 2 English Cucumbers
- 6 ounces Feta Cheese, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons Plain Greek Yogurt
- 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 tablespoons finely diced Sun-Dried Tomatoes
- 8 - 12 pitted Kalamata Olives, finely diced
- 1/2 tablespoon roughly chopped Fresh Dill
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Lemon Juice
- Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
- Dill Sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
Slice the Cucumber Strips
- Using a mandoline set at the 2mm thick setting, slice the cucumbers longways into thin strips.
- Lay the cucumbers on top of a paper towel lined cutting board or baking sheet, then add another paper towel on top. Press to soak up the excess moisture.
- Let sit on the paper towels while you prepare the filling.
Make the Cucumber Roll Up Filling
- Add the feta to a medium bowl, then mash with a fork. Add the Greek yogurt, and continue to mash and stir the feta and yogurt until well mixed.
- Then, add in the sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, fresh dill, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
- Season to taste with salt and black pepper
Assembling the Cucumber Roll Ups
- Working with one cucumber strip at a time, spread a small amount (about a tablespoon) of filling over the length of the cucumber strip.
- After that, starting at one end, roll the cucumber strips into a spiral. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Repeat with remaining strips until all of the filling has been used. If desired, garnish the top of each cucumber roll up with a sprig of fresh dill
- If not serving immediately, chill until ready to serve.
