Cucumber Cottage Cheese Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Cucumber Cottage Cheese Wraps are a refreshing and easy-to-make snack or light meal. Crisp cucumbers combined with creamy cottage cheese and fresh herbs create a delicious, customizable delight perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

• 2 wraps (Flour or Spinach; try whole wheat or low-carb variants)
• 1 cup cottage cheese (substitute with ricotta or Greek yogurt)
• 1 medium cucumber (sliced or julienned)
• 1/4 cup red bell pepper (finely chopped, optional)
• 1/4 cup fresh dill or parsley (chopped; swap for basil or cilantro)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or white vinegar, apple cider vinegar works too)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 small clove minced, optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, chopped dill or parsley, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
2. Step 2: Lay out the wraps on a clean surface and spread a generous layer of the cottage cheese mixture evenly across each wrap.
3. Step 3: Arrange cucumber slices along the center of each wrap. Add red bell pepper or any other optional veggies on top.
4. Step 4: Starting from the edge closest to you, tightly roll each wrap, folding in the sides as you roll to keep the filling inside.
5. Step 5: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the cottage cheese mixture.
• Try swapping cucumbers for thinly sliced avocado or carrots for a different texture.
• Use flavored wraps like tomato basil or whole grain to add variety.
• If you prefer a spicier wrap, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some sliced jalapeños.

Storage

Store the wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. They are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept chilled for a quick snack later. To serve, you can eat them cold or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes for softer wraps.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese instead of cottage cheese?

Yes, ricotta or Greek yogurt work well as creamier alternatives and provide a similar texture with slight flavor differences.

How do I keep the wraps from getting soggy?

To prevent sogginess, make sure to drain any excess moisture from the cucumbers by patting them dry with paper towels before adding them to the wrap. Also, assemble the wraps close to serving time.
