Make these quick, high-protein cucumber wraps using cottage cheese as a creamy, low-carb filling. They are perfect for a light lunch or a keto-friendly snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cucumbers
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (4% fat recommended for creaminess)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chives, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup shredded carrots or finely diced bell pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the cucumbers thoroughly. Trim off the ends.
  2. Carefully slice each cucumber lengthwise into thin, flat strips, about 1/8 inch thick. You need strips sturdy enough to hold the filling.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese, chopped dill, minced chives, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt. Mix until the filling is uniform and creamy. If the cottage cheese seems too wet, gently press out excess liquid first.
  4. Lay a cucumber strip flat on a clean cutting board. Place about one teaspoon of the cottage cheese mixture near one end of the strip.
  5. Gently roll the cucumber strip around the filling, starting from the end with the filling, similar to rolling a small burrito.
  6. Place the finished cucumber cottage cheese wraps seam-side down on a serving plate.
  7. Chill for at least 10 minutes before serving to help them set.

Notes

  • For sturdier wraps, use Persian or English cucumbers as they have fewer seeds.
  • If your cottage cheese filling is too thick, add a teaspoon of water or milk to reach a spreadable consistency.
  • To make this a Keto Cottage Cheese Recipe, ensure your added vegetables are low in net carbs.
  • These are best eaten the day they are made to prevent the cucumber from releasing too much water.
