Ingredients

  • 1 large English cucumber

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

  • 2 tablespoons low-fat plain strained yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons sliced fresh chives

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

  1. Trim ends off cucumber; cut an 8-inch length from the cucumber (reserve remaining cucumber for another use). Using a vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber lengthwise to get 12 strips. On a clean cutting board, shingle the cucumber strips vertically into a sheet about 8 inches wide.

  2. Stir 4 ounces cream cheese, 2 tablespoons yogurt, 2 tablespoons each chives and dill and ½ teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Spread the mixture over the whole cucumber sheet, leaving an inch at the top and bottom edges. Using a chef’s knife, carefully lift the bottom edge off the cutting board to start rolling; roll up the cucumber sheet. Slice the cucumber roll into 10 pieces.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
