Cucumber Roll-Ups Low-Carb Snack (Printable)

Fresh cucumber slices wrapped with creamy cheese and deli meats for a crunchy, satisfying low-carb snack.

# What You Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 large English cucumber

→ Dairy

02 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened

→ Deli Meats

03 - 4 oz sliced turkey breast or ham

→ Seasonings & Extras

04 - 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
05 - 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
06 - ½ tsp garlic powder
07 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

→ Optional Fillings

08 - 1 small red bell pepper, julienned
09 - 1 small avocado, sliced
10 - 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning

# Directions:

01 - Wash the cucumber and trim the ends. Using a mandoline slicer or vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber lengthwise into long, thin strips. Pat dry with paper towels.
02 - Combine the softened cream cheese with chopped chives, dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth and well incorporated.
03 - Lay cucumber strips flat. Spread a thin layer of the seasoned cream cheese over each strip, then top with a slice of turkey or ham and optional red bell pepper or avocado slices.
04 - Carefully roll each cucumber strip into a tight spiral and arrange seam-side down on a platter. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if desired. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes for a firmer texture.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Perfect for when you want to feel like you are eating something real and substantial without the post snack slump
  • The cream cheese mixture keeps in the fridge for days, so you can assemble these in seconds anytime hunger strikes
02 -
  • Dry the cucumber strips thoroughly with paper towels, or the cream cheese will slide right off instead of spreading evenly
  • Work quickly once you start assembling, because the salt in the seasoning will draw water out of the cucumber over time
03 -
  • Use the widest setting on your mandoline to get strips thick enough to hold the filling without tearing
  • Chill the roll-ups for at least 15 minutes before serving, and they will slice cleanly if you want to cut them into bite sized pieces
