How to Prepare Cucumber Green Goddess Wraps
Preparing these wraps is straightforward, quick, and highly customizable. The first step is to create the Green Goddess dressing, which is the heart of the wrap. In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth, then add Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Mix thoroughly until creamy, then fold in chopped parsley and chives. Season with salt and pepper, tasting and adjusting as needed. This dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days, making your preparation even faster.
Next, prepare the cucumbers by slicing them thinly lengthwise using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Aim for slices that are wide enough to hold the filling but thin enough to roll easily. Place the cucumber slices on a flat surface and lightly pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This ensures your wraps don’t become soggy and hold together well.
Once your cucumbers are ready, lay out the mixed greens on each slice. Start by placing a few leaves of lettuce or spinach, then add optional vegetables like shredded carrots or bell peppers for extra color and crunch. If you prefer protein in your wraps, you can add thin strips of cooked chicken. Spread a generous amount of the Green Goddess dressing over the vegetables, making sure each slice has a balanced coating for flavor in every bite.
Now comes the fun part—rolling the wraps. Carefully roll each cucumber slice around the filling, tucking in the sides slightly to hold everything together. You can secure the rolls with toothpicks if needed. Arrange the wraps on a serving plate, and drizzle a little extra dressing on top for presentation. These wraps are not only visually appealing but also practical for serving at lunches, picnics, or gatherings.
These wraps are quick and easy to prepare, taking only about 15–20 minutes from start to finish. They are highly customizable, allowing you to swap ingredients based on seasonal produce or personal taste. Many people enjoy them as a light lunch, a refreshing snack, or a party appetizer. Their combination of creamy, crunchy, and fresh flavors makes them a popular choice for both adults and children.
Additionally, these wraps are versatile enough to pair with dips, soups, or even as part of a larger salad platter. You can experiment with herbs, add extra vegetables, or even include a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for texture. The simplicity of the recipe allows you to get creative while keeping the preparation fast and efficient.
By following these steps, you will consistently produce fresh, flavorful, and satisfying Cucumber Green Goddess Wraps that everyone will love. The balance of textures, combined with the vibrant flavors of the dressing and vegetables, makes this recipe a reliable favorite for any occasion.

FAQs
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the Green Goddess dressing in advance and slice the cucumbers ahead of time. However, it’s best to assemble the wraps just before serving to keep the cucumbers crisp.
Can I use other vegetables?
Absolutely! Feel free to add shredded carrots, bell peppers, radishes, or even thinly sliced zucchini. The wraps are highly versatile and can be adapted to your preferences.
Can I add protein?
Yes, you can include cooked chicken, turkey bacon, or even chickpeas for a plant-based option. Adding protein makes the wraps more filling while keeping them healthy.
Are these wraps gluten-free?
Yes, they are naturally gluten-free since they rely on cucumber slices instead of traditional wraps or bread.
How should I store leftovers?
Store the assembled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Keep the dressing separate if you plan to store them longer to prevent sogginess.
