Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large cucumbers, sliced into 2″ slices (should have slices 8 total)
- small circle cookie cutter
- 4 thin slices favorite sandwich filling (turkey, ham, use vegan versions too!)
- 2 large slices cheese (I used deli swiss cheese)
- 1/2 c. chopped lettuce
- 1/2 c. shredded carrots
- Dairy Free Ranch Dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Large cucumber, sliced into 1 1/2-2″ slices
- small circle cookie cutter
- favorite sandwich filling (turkey, ham, cheese, use vegetarian versions too!)
- chopped lettuce
- shredded carrots
The idea for stuffing them is simple:
- For each cucumber slice, cut out the middles with the circle cookie cutter. You can save the insides for a salad, juice, or a smoothie for no waster.
- Place 1 slice of lunch meat on top of 1 slice of cheese. Add the 1 Tbsp. lettuce and 1 Tbsp. shredded carrots towards the bottom half of the meat and cheese layer.
- Tightly roll from the bottom up.
- Holding one end with your hand, slice the other end in 2″ slices so it will fit nicely on the inside of the cucumber.
- Place the filling roll inside the cucumber.
- Repeat for the remaining slices.
Notes
You can put 4 cucumber rolls into your kid’s lunchbox and save the other 4 for another lunch day. Will keep well in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
