# What You’ll Need:

01 - 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
02 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
03 - 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
04 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
05 - 1/4 cup celery, finely diced

→ Roll Ups
10 - 2 large English cucumbers
11 - 1/4 cup carrot, julienned
# How-to Steps:
01 - Combine shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until fully incorporated and creamy.
02 - Wash and dry cucumbers thoroughly. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, slice cucumbers lengthwise into long, thin ribbons. Aim for approximately 16 even slices.
03 - Lay a cucumber ribbon flat on a clean work surface. Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons of chicken salad mixture along one end. Top with a few julienned carrots if using.
04 - Gently roll the cucumber ribbon around the filling, creating a tight cylinder. Place seam side down on a serving platter.
05 - Repeat the rolling process with remaining cucumber ribbons and chicken salad until all components are used.
06 - Serve immediately for optimal texture, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They disappear faster than any other appetizer I've ever served
- The crunch of cucumber against creamy filling creates the perfect texture contrast
02 -
- Pat those cucumber ribbons dry with paper towels or the filling will slide right off
- Dont overfill or the rolls will burst when you try to cut them
03 -
- Use a mandoline if you have one for perfectly even ribbons
- These are best served within 2 hours or the cucumber starts to soften
