Crispy Cucumber Feta Wraps Recipe

by

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 wraps

Ingredients:

  • 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • Fresh dill or parsley for garnish (optional)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cucumber:
    Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it into thin rounds. For extra crunch, you can even use a mandoline slicer to achieve thin, uniform slices.

  2. Season the Cucumber:
    In a small bowl, toss the cucumber slices with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Let them sit for 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture, making them extra crisp.

  3. Assemble the Wraps:
    Lay out your wraps on a clean, flat surface. If you’re using spinach or whole wheat wraps, they will add a nice flavor contrast to the crisp cucumber and creamy feta.

  4. Add the Feta and Seasoning:
    Spread crumbled feta evenly over each wrap. Sprinkle a little garlic powder and dried oregano on top for an aromatic flavor boost. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the feta to add a zesty kick.

  5. Layer the Cucumber:
    Layer the cucumber slices evenly across the feta on each wrap, adding extra slices if you want more crunch and freshness.

  6. Wrap it Up:
    Carefully fold the edges of the wrap in and roll tightly. Cut the wraps in half for easy serving.

  7. Optional Garnish:
    For an extra burst of flavor, garnish your wraps with fresh dill or parsley. This will also give your wraps a vibrant, fresh appearance.

  8. Serve and Enjoy:
    Serve the crispy cucumber feta wraps immediately, or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving for a cool, refreshing snack.
