Prepare Cucumber
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin, or leave it on if you prefer.
- Use an apple corer to remove the seeds from the center of the cucumbers—this ensures a crisp texture in every bite.
- Cut it in half to it makes it easier to fill.
Insert the Fillings

- Squeeze into the cucumber center until filled to the top.
Slice the Rolls:
- Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.
- Wipe the knife with a damp towel between cuts to keep the slices clean and neat.
- Continue slicing until you’ve cut all the cucumber rolls.
Topping

Notes

- It stored very well in an airtight container to the next day.
