Looking for a delicious veggie side dish to munch on at lunch? How about a quick and easy cucumber wrap? My kids and I love this recipe, which is great because I don't have to fight with the girls to get their daily vegetables in.
You will need the following items for your cucumber wrap:
- 1 cucumber
- 1 carrot
- 1 sweet pickle
- Handful sprouts
- 8 oz. sour cream
- 1 vegetable dip dry mix packet
Follow these steps to create your cucumber wrap:
Step 1:
Lay out a sheet of wax paper to make the cucumber wrap. You can make it right on a plate, but I prefer to use wax paper.
Step 2:
Use a large peeler to peel 5 thin slices of cucumber. Lay them next to each other, but make sure they overlap a little. This is the outside of the cucumber wrap.
Step 3:
Mix the sour cream with the vegetable dip mix. Spread a layer of this mixture over the cucumber slices. I do think the sour cream mix tastes better if you can do this step the night before. The flavors have more time to blend together.
Step 4:
Place some small peeled carrot slices over the sour cream. Then toss pieces of a diced sweet pickle on the sour cream and top with sprouts.
Step 5:
Roll the cucumber wrap up from left to right. Eat away.
Substitutions:
Use relish instead of taking the time to dice up a sweet pickle.
Use ranch dip mix instead of vegetable dip mix.
Options:
Add some shredded mozzarella to the inside of the cucumber wrap.
