Cucumber Feta Rolls

Isn't that just absolutely lovely? I was looking on pinterest today after school and looking at all of the places that I am dreaming of going one day, and I stumbled upon thousands of pictures of Greece, like this beautiful photo from National Geographic, and I couldn't help but admire the beautiful architecture, and culture, and I remembered why I actually began this project in the first place. Here in America, you don't see this culture, like this beautiful peacock blue domed roof, and bell towers. Hmm...one day, I promise you, I will see this roof in person and tell you how it really looks! :) Hopefully you get to see this domed roof as well!

Anyway, Hi everyone! :) Winter is slowly dwindling down, and I find myself wanting refreshing, summer-like dishes more and more here lately. Well while I was searching on my pinterest account, like I was talking about above and which I will leave a link for later, I found a recipe for Cucumber Feta Rolls. At first I was just like..."OH MY...", :) , but, as I got to thinking about it, I really think that it fits in with the theme of this blog, and to be honest, it sounded REALLY good when I read the recipe. So I have not tried that recipe yet, but I have tried something EXTREMELY similar before, and I will be posting that for you today, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did! (:

Hmm....lets use green today.. ;)

Cucumber Feta Rolls

Ingredients:

·       2 Garden Cucumbers (or English—depends on what you like)

·       6 ounces of crumbled feta

·       2 ½ - 3 ½ tablespoons finely diced sundried tomatoes

·       3 tablespoons of Greek Yogurt (I use Chobani)

·       1 tablespoon roughly chopped oregano

·      

·       1 tablespoon toasted fennel seed

·       2 teaspoons-a whole lemon of lemon juice J

·       Salt and pepper to taste

Recipe:

·       Thinly slice the cucumbers longways, about 2 mm thick. (when I slice vegetables I use a monkey peeler, it’s like this orange peeler in the shape of a monkey, kinda awesome, but you can use a mandoline, just set it to a 2 mm setting).

·       Add the feta and yogurt to a medium sized bowl, and combine using a fork. Add the sundried tomatoes, oregano, dill, and fennel seeds, lemon juice, salt and pepper into the bowl, and mash together.

·       Place 1-2 teaspoons of mixture at the end of a strip of cucumber, and roll up. Secure the cucumber/feta mixture with a toothpick. Repeat with all of the cucumber slices, and serve immediately or chill until ready to serve

·       ENJOY! :)

I am really excited to try this one :)

I hope you enjoy
