These low-carb, high-protein wraps are a refreshing twist on healthy eating—ideal for quick lunches or post-workout bites.
I made these one afternoon when I was craving something cool and filling without the heaviness of bread. The crunch of cucumber pairs so perfectly with the creamy cottage cheese that I kept going back for more. They’re so simple, yet taste gourmet with the right herbs and seasoning.
Ingredients:
- 1 large cucumber
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tsp olive oil (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp dried dill or Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Chopped cherry tomatoes or olives (optional for filling)
Instructions:
- Wash cucumber and slice it lengthwise into thin ribbons using a mandoline or vegetable peeler.
- In a bowl, mix cottage cheese with olive oil, seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Lay out the cucumber ribbons flat on a clean surface or plate.
- Spread a small spoonful of the cottage cheese mixture along one end of each ribbon.
- Optionally top with chopped cherry tomatoes or olives for added flavor.
- Gently roll up each ribbon into a wrap.
