Tips for Slicing Cucumbers

When slicing cucumbers, uniformity matters for both aesthetic appeal and even layering. Aim for strips that are about 1/8-inch thick if you're using a knife or a vegetable peeler. A mandoline slicer can also provide consistent thickness, ensuring that each bite is crunchy and refreshing.

If you're pressed for time, spiraling your cucumbers can create an eye-catching presentation and unique texture. Just be aware that spiralized cucumbers may release more moisture, so consider patting them dry with a paper towel before assembling your wraps to avoid sogginess.

Flavor Enhancements

For a vibrant burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped olives to the feta mixture. This will elevate the Mediterranean taste profile and offer a nice contrast to the coolness of the cucumbers. You might also experiment with different herbs like dill or mint for a refreshing twist.

If you're looking to add a bit more protein, slices of grilled chicken or chickpeas can be included in the wrap. This makes the wrap even more filling, turning it into an excellent option for lunch or a light dinner.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

These Mediterranean Cucumber and Feta Wraps can be made in advance, making them perfect for meal prep. Just assemble the filling and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Be sure to keep the tortillas separate until just before serving for optimal freshness.

If you want to establish a week’s worth of lunches, prepare all your fillings on a Sunday and wrap them each day as needed. This not only saves time but also ensures you have a nutritious and satisfying meal ready to go!

Ingredients

Gather these fresh ingredients to create your Mediterranean Cucumber and Feta Wraps:

Ingredients

2 large cucumbers
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to assemble your wraps:

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss to combine.

Slice the Cucumbers

Using a vegetable peeler or knife, slice the cucumbers lengthwise into thin strips. You can also spiralize them for a fun twist!

Assemble the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Start with a layer of cucumber slices, then spoon a generous amount of the feta mixture on top. Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the edges as you go.

Cut and Serve

Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately, or secure them with toothpicks for a portable snack.

Pro Tips

For an extra punch of flavor, try adding olives or sun-dried tomatoes to your filling. You can also use different types of cheese, like goat cheese, for a personal twist.

Serving Suggestions

These Mediterranean wraps are incredibly versatile and can be paired with a variety of sides. A light Greek salad or a bowl of hummus and pita chips complements the fresh flavors and makes for a balanced meal. You may also consider a yogurt-based dip to add creaminess to the overall presentation.

For a fun presentation at gatherings, cut the wraps into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a platter. This makes them perfect for sharing at parties or potlucks, while also making them an attractive appetizer.

Ingredient Swaps

Should you have difficulty finding feta cheese, goat cheese can be a delightful substitute that provides a similar tangy flavor. For those keeping dairy-free, consider using crumbled tofu marinated in lemon juice and herbs, which can achieve a suitable texture and taste.

If whole wheat or spinach tortillas aren't available, opt for gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves for a lighter, grain-free option. The lettuce adds a lovely crunch and fresh taste while keeping the dish low in carbs.
