Description
Crunchy Chicken Salad Cucumber Roll-Ups are a refreshing snack or appetizer made with shredded chicken salad wrapped in cucumber strips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced, rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
- 1/4 cup celery (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup red grapes (halved, optional)
- 1/4 cup almonds (chopped, or any nuts of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
- 2 large cucumbers (English cucumbers work best)
- Fresh dill (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), chopped celery, halved grapes, chopped almonds, Dijon mustard (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and stir in fresh parsley if desired.
- Cut the cucumbers lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler or mandoline. Aim for about 1/8-inch thick slices to ensure they are pliable.
- If the cucumbers have large seeds, you can scoop them out with a spoon to make rolling easier.
- Place a spoonful of the chicken salad mixture at one end of each cucumber strip.
- Gently roll the cucumber strip around the chicken salad, starting from the filled end. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Arrange the roll-ups on a serving platter and garnish with fresh dill if desired.
- Serve immediately as a refreshing snack or appetizer!
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Adjust the ingredients based on your preference.
- These can be made a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
