Refreshing Cucumber Cream Cheese Rolls

A light, crisp, and refreshing appetizer or snack. Thin ribbons of cucumber are spread with cream cheese, filled with julienned vegetables, and rolled into beautiful, bite-sized spirals.

Ingredients

• 1-2 large cucumbers
• 1 package (8 oz / 225g) cream cheese, softened
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup (10g) alfalfa sprouts or microgreens
• Chopped chives or green onions, for garnish

Instructions

1. Create cucumber ribbons by peeling long, thin strips from the cucumbers using a vegetable peeler. Lay them flat on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
2. Spread a layer of cream cheese along the length of each cucumber strip.
3. Place a few strips of carrot and bell pepper on top of the cream cheese.
4. Carefully roll up each cucumber strip into a tight spiral.
5. Top each roll with a small amount of alfalfa sprouts and garnish with chopped chives. Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
