These Fresh Cucumber Cream Cheese Roll-Ups are a quick, easy, and refreshing snack featuring crisp cucumber slices rolled with a creamy, tangy herb-seasoned cream cheese filling. Perfect for light bites, appetizers, or a healthy snack anytime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium English cucumbers, thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional extras: thinly sliced smoked salmon or turkey, chives or green onions, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Slice the cucumbers lengthwise into thin strips about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese with fresh dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Lay one cucumber slice flat on a cutting board. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly along the entire length of the cucumber slice. Add optional extras like smoked salmon or chives if desired.
  4. Starting from one end, carefully roll the cucumber slice into a tight spiral. Place the roll seam side down to keep it closed.
  5. Arrange the roll-ups on a serving platter, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use English cucumbers for thinner skin and fewer seeds to make rolling easier. Soften cream cheese to room temperature for easy spreading. Pat cucumber slices dry with paper towels to avoid soggy roll-ups. Chill roll-ups before serving to help them hold their shape. Can be made up to 24 hours ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese with plant-based alternatives or whipped coconut cream.
