🛒 Ingredients

🥒 Wrap Base

  • 2 large English cucumbers
  • Pinch of salt (for moisture removal)

🍅 Filling

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, finely diced
  • ¾ cup feta cheese, crumbled (or vegan feta if preferred)
  • ¼ small red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons Kalamata olives, finely chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated (optional)

🌿 Fresh Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (optional but highly recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint (optional for extra freshness)

🥄 Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of salt (go light—feta is salty)

🌶️ Optional Add-Ins

  • Crushed red pepper flakes
  • Avocado slices 🥑
  • Grilled chicken strips 🍗 (non-vegetarian option)
  • Hummus spread (for extra creaminess)

🔪 Step 1: Prepare the Cucumbers (Wrap Base)

  1. Wash cucumbers thoroughly.
  2. Cut each cucumber into long thin ribbons using:
    • A vegetable peeler, or
    • A mandoline slicer
  3. Lay slices on a paper towel.
  4. Lightly sprinkle with salt.
  5. Let sit for 5 minutes, then pat dry.

💡 This removes excess moisture so wraps don’t get soggy.


🍅 Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl combine:

  • Diced cherry tomatoes 🍅
  • Crumbled feta 🧀
  • Red onion 🧅
  • Olives 🫒
  • Garlic (optional)

Gently mix so feta stays slightly chunky.


🌿 Step 3: Add Herbs

Add:

  • Parsley
  • Dill
  • Mint (if using)

Toss lightly to distribute evenly.


🥄 Step 4: Make the Dressing

In a small bowl whisk together:

  • Olive oil
  • Lemon juice
  • Oregano
  • Black pepper
  • Pinch of salt

Mix until slightly emulsified.


🥗 Step 5: Combine Filling

  1. Pour dressing over the feta mixture.
  2. Stir gently until everything is coated.
  3. Let sit for 2–3 minutes so flavors blend.

🥒 Step 6: Assemble the Wraps

  1. Lay cucumber ribbons flat.
  2. Place 1–2 tablespoons of filling at one end.
  3. Roll tightly into a wrap.

Secure with:

  • Toothpick (optional)
  • Overlapping cucumber helps it hold naturally

🍽️ Step 7: Serve

Arrange wraps on a plate and garnish with:

  • Extra feta 🧀
  • Fresh herbs 🌿
  • Lemon zest 🍋
  • Chili flakes 🌶️ (optional)

Serve immediately for best crunch.
