Cucumber Rolls
These Cucumber Rolls are a fresh, no-cook appetizer made with thinly sliced cucumber, deli ham or turkey, and a creamy Dijon-mayo spread.
Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 6-8 slices ham or turkey
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
Instructions
- Use a mandoline or vegetable peeler to slice the cucumber into thin, long strips. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Lay a cucumber strip flat and spread a thin layer of the mustard-mayo mixture over it.
- Place a slice of ham or turkey on top.
- Gently roll the cucumber and ham/turkey into a tight spiral. Secure with a toothpick.
- Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
Nutrition
Notes
- Slice the cucumber thin: Use a mandoline or vegetable peeler to create long, flexible strips that roll easily without cracking.
- Pat dry before assembling: Removing excess moisture helps the spread adhere better and keeps the rolls from slipping.
- Spread lightly: A thin layer of the mustard-mayo mixture adds flavor without overpowering the cucumber.
- Chill briefly if needed: Refrigerating the rolls for 15 to 30 minutes can help them firm up for cleaner serving.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve these cucumber rolls as a light appetizer on their own or pair them with recipes like Guacamole Bites, Antipasto Skewers, or Sun-Dried Tomato Crostini for a fresh party spread.
