Cucumber roll-ups are one of those things that once you have one, you won’t be able to stop. I am so addicted to these! I love to serve them as an entrée on special occasions, but they are also great as a quick, light meal or snack (especially during lunchtime). They have the crunch and creaminess, to keep you completely satisfied.
📋 Variations
They are very versatile! You can add some more and other fillings to the cucumber, such as hummus, vegan cheese, or vegan deli slices, herbs like cilantro or leafy baby spinach, and more. Feel free to get creative!
