Delightful and refreshing Cucumber and Cream Cheese Roll-Ups combine crisp cucumber slices with smooth, creamy cheese to create a light and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. Perfect for keto-friendly diets and quick gatherings, these roll-ups can be enhanced with optional smoked salmon or fresh herbs for extra flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized cucumbers
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened

Optional Ingredients

  • Smoked salmon, thinly sliced (as desired)
  • Fresh herbs such as dill, chives, or parsley (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cucumbers: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them lengthwise into thin strips using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer to ensure even thickness for rolling.
  2. Soften Cream Cheese: Place the cream cheese in a bowl and mix it well until smooth and creamy, which makes it easier to spread evenly over cucumber slices.
  3. Spread Cream Cheese: Lay each cucumber strip flat on a clean surface or cutting board, then spread a spoonful of the prepared cream cheese evenly along the entire length of the strip.
  4. Add Optional Fillings: If using, add a thin layer of smoked salmon or sprinkle fresh herbs over the cream cheese for enhanced flavor and texture.
  5. Roll Up: Carefully roll each cucumber strip from one end to the other, gently pressing to keep the roll tight. Secure with a toothpick if necessary to hold the shape.
  6. Repeat: Continue the spreading, filling, and rolling process with all remaining cucumber strips and cream cheese mixture until finished.
  7. Serve or Store: Serve the roll-ups immediately as a fresh snack or refrigerate them for up to 2 days to enjoy later as part of a light keto-friendly meal.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for even, thin cucumber slices to make rolling easier.
  • Soften cream cheese at room temperature before starting to ensure smooth spreading.
  • Optional smoked salmon adds protein and a savory twist, but roll-ups are delicious even without it.
  • Fresh herbs like dill, chives, or parsley complement the cream cheese and cucumber perfectly.
  • To make the roll-ups hold their shape better, chill them for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • These roll-ups are best served fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
