Ingredients
Produce
Filling
- 4 oz Cream Cheese softened
- 1 tsp Thyme dried
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground
Instructions
- Arrange the cucumber slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture. This will help the roll-ups stay intact.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, dried thyme, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice.
- Place a few carrot, zucchini, and scallion strips at one end of each cucumber slice.
- Carefully roll up each cucumber slice, starting from the end with the vegetables. Secure with a toothpick, if desired.
- For an elegant presentation, arrange the remaining vegetable strips on a serving platter. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over the vegetables. Arrange the cucumber roll-ups on top.
- Serve immediately or chill for later. These refreshing roll-ups are best enjoyed within a few hours of preparation.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a smoother texture, peel the cucumbers before blending. This is especially helpful if you're using cucumbers with thick or waxy skins.
- Adjust the sweetness and tanginess to your liking. Add more simple syrup or honey for extra sweetness, and more lemon or lime juice for a tangier flavor.
- If you want a colder drink, chill the cucumber mixture in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover cucumber juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavor and color may change slightly over time.
