TIPS
- Use Wide Ribbons: Choose large cucumbers for wide ribbons that roll easily.
- Blot Moisture: Gently pat the cucumber dry to prevent sogginess.
- Roll Firmly: Tightly rolled layers hold together better and look neater.
VARIATIONS
- Add Herbs: Include a fresh mint or basil leaf in each roll for added flavour.
- Use Chicken: Replace turkey with cooked chicken breast for a similar protein hit.
- Add Colour: Insert thinly sliced bell pepper or shredded carrot for crunch and colour.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Make in Advance: This can be prepared a few hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
- Refrigeration: Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Avoid Freezing: Not suitable for freezing as cucumber texture degrades.
