I love a good Greek salad. It is one of my favorite salads to make and to order when we dine out. When I saw Lotta Maddness’s recipe for Cucumber Feta Rolls on Tasty Kitchen, I immediately thought: Genius! Why didn’t I think of that! The rolls have all of the fabulous flavors of a Greek salad, but in a cute little cucumber roll. I knew I had to make them.
To make the rolls, you will need: an English cucumber, dill, sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, Greek yogurt, feta cheese, lemon juice, and black pepper. Simple, right?
Using a mandoline (or a sharp vegetable peeler), slice the cucumber lengthwise into long thin strips.
Place the cucumber strips on a towel to absorb the liquid.
Chop the dill, sun-dried tomatoes and olives (make sure you remove the pits) into smaller pieces.
Mix together the Greek yoghurt, feta and lemon juice in a bowl until blended.
Next, add the dill, sun-dried tomatoes and olives to the feta mixture and season with pepper.
Place one strip of cucumber on a cutting board.
Place about a teaspoon of the feta mixture onto one end of the cucumber strip.
Roll up the cucumber strip and secure with a toothpick.
Chill until ready to serve.
I had so much fun making these rolls! And the best part, you get to eat them when you are finished playing! I loved the creamy Greek yogurt and feta filling. The kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, dill, and lemon gave the rolls the perfect punch of flavor. The cucumber wrapped everything up nicely and provided a nice crunch. These Cucumber Feta Rolls make a great party appetizer. Not in the mood to party? Make them for yourself! I made them for lunch and served pita bread on the side. So tasty!
