Herbed Cream Cheese wrapped in Cukes

So good. Adaptable. Easy. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 2 English cucumbers or 3 large field cukes
  • Cream cheese about 1 cup or 250 g
  • Basil ~ small bunch or any favourite herb

Instructions

  1. Chop whatever herb you are using and add to the cream cheese in a bowl.
  2. Stir until combined
  3. Use a veggie peeler (as I do) or a paring knife to slice the cukes lengthwise into long ribbons.
  4. One at a time...
  5. Place a cucumber 'ribbon' on a cutting board and add a dollop of cream cheese mixture to the ribbon, at one end. Roll up. Stand on it's 'side'
  6. (see picture!)
  7. Crunchy and SO delicious.

Recipe Notes

This recipe changes depending upon the herb used. I've used Italian parsley, chervil, dill, basil, lemon balm and a lemony mint! It's a long list of possibilities.
This is the simple version. You can add sliced peppers, chopped tomatoes and pesto, or other colourful veggies. When I am pulling quick apps together, this simple one works just fine and is a crowd-pleaser!
