Description
Light and refreshing cucumber‐wrapped “Green Goddess” filled with creamy herbs, avocado, and crisp vegetables—perfect for a healthy lunch or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or vegan yogurt for dairy‑free)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (or vegan mayo)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 small red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned
- Mix of fresh sprouts (like alfalfa or radish sprouts)
Instructions
- Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice cucumbers lengthwise into 8–10 thin ribbons.
- In a bowl, mash avocado until smooth. Stir in yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, garlic powder, parsley, chives, dill, salt, and pepper until creamy green goddess dressing forms.
- Lay a cucumber ribbon on a clean surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the green goddess mixture along its length, leaving a small border at each end.
- Place a few strips of red bell pepper, carrot, and a small handful of sprouts on one end of the ribbon.
- Carefully roll up the cucumber ribbon, enclosing the filling. Repeat with remaining ribbons and filling.
- Arrange wraps on a platter and serve immediately, or chill up to 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use a mandoline for even, thin cucumber ribbons.
- Feel free to swap Greek yogurt with vegan yogurt to make it dairy‑free.
- Keep wrapped in parchment and refrigerated if preparing ahead.
- Add protein such as shredded chicken, tofu, or smoked salmon for a heartier version.
