Simple cucumber rolls: A quick and impressive appetizer

Sometimes, you don't need a lot of ingredients or to spend many hours on preparation to create an impressive snack. That’s the case with these simple rolls, which work great as a quick appetizer. Additionally, making them is just a piece of cake.

You pick up the phone and hear that guests will drop by in half an hour. Whether it’s a long-unseen friend, a cousin visiting the city, or an in-law "stopping by," it’s worth preparing something to snack on. It doesn't mean you have to start whipping egg whites for a Pavlova cake or getting a bowl ready for a vegetable salad. Simple cucumber rolls are a great treat for guests.

Express cucumber rolls are the perfect solution when you need to quickly prepare a tasty and impressive snack. They are light, refreshing, and delicious, so you can serve them at different times of the day. The rolls look very appetizing and will adorn any table.

Just three ingredients are enough to create a delicious snack. The recipe is so simple that even people who are not skilled in the kitchen can handle it.

Preparing the rolls takes only a few minutes. The cucumber provides water and vitamins, while the feta cheese is a source of protein. It is fresh, light, and very tasty. If you’re not a fan of olives, you can replace them with sun-dried tomatoes, capers, smoked salmon, or chopped garden herbs.

Ingredients:

• 1 long green cucumber
• 5 ounces of feta cheese
• 2 ounces of black olives

Preparation:

1. Wash the cucumber and cut it into thin slices. It’s easiest to do this with a mandoline. Don’t peel it.
2. Chop the olives and mix them with the crumbled feta cheese.
3. Place a portion of the filling on each cucumber slice and roll it up. You can secure the roll with a toothpick if you’re worried it might unfold.
4. Arrange the rolls on a plate and garnish as desired.

The rolls can be sprinkled with sesame seeds or topped with fresh herbs. To make them more elegant, you can also add a shrimp, a piece of salmon, or even some caviar. Enjoy!
