With just three ingredients, you can create a delicious snack. The recipe is so simple that even those not skilled in the kitchen can handle it.

Cucumber and feta rolls

Preparing the rolls takes just a few minutes. Cucumber provides water and vitamins, while feta cheese is a source of protein. It's fresh and light and very tasty. If you do not like olives, you can replace them with sun-dried tomatoes, capers, smoked salmon, or chopped herbs from the garden.

Ingredients:

  • 1 long green cucumber,
  • 140 grams of feta cheese,
  • 60 grams black olives.

Preparation:

  1. Wash the cucumber and cut it into thin slices. The easiest way to do this is with a mandoline. Do not peel it.
  2. Chop the olives and mix them with the crumbled feta cheese.
  3. Place a portion of the filling on each cucumber slice and roll it up. If you are worried the rolls will unravel, secure them with a toothpick.
  4. Arrange the rolls on a plate and decorate as desired.

You can sprinkle the rolls with sesame seeds or add fresh herbs. For a more elegant touch, you can also add shrimp, salmon, or caviar. Enjoy!
