Greek Salad Sushi Recipe

Introduction

Greek Salad Sushi offers a fresh and creative twist on classic flavors by combining traditional Greek ingredients wrapped in crisp cucumber slices. This light and refreshing appetizer is perfect for summer gatherings or a healthy snack any time.

Ingredients

• 1 Cucumber
• 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
• 1 Lemon
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh Dill
• Salt, to taste
• Ground Black Pepper, to taste
• 1/2 Bell Pepper
• 1/4 cup Red Onion
• 1/4 cup Feta Cheese

Instructions

1. Step 1: Chop the ends off the cucumber and use a mandolin or vegetable peeler to create thin, lengthwise slices. Lay the slices on several layers of paper towels, cover with more paper towels, and gently pat dry. Let them sit while preparing the tzatziki sauce.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, fresh dill, salt, and pepper to create the tzatziki sauce.
3. Step 3: Spread a small amount of tzatziki onto each cucumber slice. Add a few pieces of diced bell pepper, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese on top.
4. Step 4: Carefully roll up each cucumber slice and secure it with a toothpick. Repeat until all ingredients are used.

Tips & Variations

• For added texture, try including chopped Kalamata olives or cherry tomatoes inside the rolls.
• If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the tzatziki.
• Use fresh herbs like mint or parsley for a different flavor twist.

Storage

Store these cucumber rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Because the cucumber slices are fresh, they are best enjoyed the same day but will still keep well chilled. Reheat is not recommended; serve cold for the best taste and texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare Greek Salad Sushi in advance?

It’s best to assemble the rolls shortly before serving to keep the cucumber slices crisp. You can prepare the tzatziki and chop the vegetables a few hours ahead, then roll right before eating.

What can I use instead of cucumber if I prefer?

Zucchini or thinly sliced summer squash can be a good alternative for wrapping, especially if peeled and prepared similarly to cucumber.

Instructions

1. Prepare the cucumber slices: Chop off the ends of the cucumber and use a mandolin or a vegetable peeler to create thin, lengthwise slices. Lay the slices on several layers of paper towels, cover with additional paper towels, and gently pat dry. Let them sit to remove excess moisture while preparing the sauce.
2. Make the tzatziki sauce: In a bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Assemble the sushi rolls: Spread a thin layer of the tzatziki sauce onto each cucumber slice. Top with a few slices of bell pepper, red onion, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese. Carefully roll up the cucumber slice around the fillings and secure it with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining slices and fillings until all are used.

Notes

• Use a mandolin or vegetable peeler to ensure thin, even cucumber slices that are pliable enough to roll.
• Patting the cucumber slices dry helps prevent sogginess in the rolls.
• Adjust the amount of garlic and dill in the tzatziki sauce according to your taste preference.
• Serve immediately for best texture, or chill briefly before serving.
• These sushi rolls make a great appetizer or light snack.
