Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Cucumber and Feta Rolls

[heart_this] · Feb 4, 2012 · 44 Comments

Cucumber and Feta Rolls

Cucumber rolls filled with creamy Greek yogurt, salty feta, sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives and roasted red peppers.

With all of the decadent snacks that I have been testing out lately I know that some of you are wondering: “Are there any lighter options?”, and these cucumber feta rolls definitely fit the bill! When I first came across the recipe for these cucumber feta rolls on Good Life Eats I knew that I would have to make them and I have just been itching for the chance! A lot of my favourite Greek flavours are used in the cucumber rolls and they even kind of remind me of deconstructed and reconstructed tzatziki with the cucumbers, lemony Greek yogurt and plenty of fresh herbs.

Cucumber and Feta Rolls
The recipe for these cucumber rolls is super easy and if you have a mandoline to cut the cucmbers thinly then it takes almost no time at all to make them. Really this recipe is more of an idea and once you have base of the cucumber, yogurt, feta and lemon you can finish them off with almost any flavours that you can dream up! I went with three different flavours; sun-dried kalamata olives with parsley, sun-dried tomato with dill, and roasted red pepper with oregano. Some other flavour combinations I was thinking of include spinach and dill for a spanakopita inspired version and a marinated roasted red pepper version where I would use white balsamic vinegar instead of the dark balsamic. I was also thinking that a smoked salmon and dill version would be truly amazing!

    You are truly an artist with you presentation. The cucumbers look so fresh. Fresh is so that way to go. As Elizabeth Berry so sagely said, shipping is a terrible thing to do to vegetables. They probably get jet-lagged, just like people.

    Kevin,
    What a great idea! I try to cut down on carbs and this is a delicious looking appetizer without the cracker, bread etc. Love it and will use it. In addition, it's gluten free yay! I am a new follower and have been really enjoying your posts.

    Hi Kevin!

    These sound great.
    Love the lightness of them.
    Also for a change up you could use zucchini strips.

    These I just have to make!

    Life in Mexico is characterized by a lot of sun and a lot of fried foods. I need and seek variation and you have some good ideas since veggies here tend to be cheap and fresh and a bit exotic. If you like hot, then you are also in a good place.

    Leslie @ Cooks Quill: I used a mandoline to cut the cucumbers and that makes it super quick and easy to slice them uniformly thinly.

    DO you use regular cucumbers? I’m wondering if English cucumbers can be used.
