Ingredients
  

2 large cucumbers

1 cup cream cheese, softened at room temperature

1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 cup thinly sliced smoked salmon (substitute with turkey slices for a turkey wrap)

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into strips

½ cup fresh arugula or baby spinach

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: capers or fresh dill sprigs for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumbers: Rinse the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water. Trim off both ends and slice each cucumber lengthwise into thin strips, attempting to achieve a thickness of about 1/8 inch. For a decorative twist, you can also use a vegetable peeler to create broader ribbons, perfect for larger wraps.

    Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir the mixture vigorously until it becomes smooth and creamy; ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      Assemble the Wraps: Take one cucumber slice or ribbon and lay it flat on your cutting board. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture across one side, ensuring an even coverage. Next, add a slice of smoked salmon (or turkey), followed by a few strips of red bell pepper and a small handful of arugula or spinach for a fresh crunch.

        Roll it Up: Carefully roll the cucumber slice starting from one end, gently tucking in the filling as you proceed to keep everything intact. For wider ribbons, overlap them slightly as you roll for a secure wrap.

          Slice and Serve: Once rolled, you can secure the wraps with a toothpick if needed. Slice each wrap into bite-sized pieces to create an appealing presentation. Arrange beautifully on a platter and garnish with capers or fresh dill sprigs for a pop of color and flavor.

            Enjoy: Serve these delightful wraps chilled as a refreshing appetizer or snack perfect for gatherings or a light summer lunch.
