No-Bake Zucchini-Wrapped Fresh Veggie Rolls
Thin ribbons of fresh zucchini wrap around crunchy matchsticks of radish, carrot, and cucumber in these bite-sized vegetable rolls. A layer of softened cream cheese holds everything together, adding a rich contrast to the raw vegetables. They're a light, colorful snack that's surprisingly fun to assemble. You'll love how the creamy filling balances the crisp, garden-fresh produce.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini or yellow squash
- 1 (8-ounce) block low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 8 radishes, cut into matchsticks
- 2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
- ½ seedless cucumber, cut into matchsticks
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1. Peel and slice zucchini or yellow squash into wide ribbons.
Instructions
- 1Peel and slice the zucchini or yellow squash lengthwise into wide ribbons. Pat the ribbons dry with a paper towel. Removing excess moisture helps the cream cheese stick better.
- 2Spread 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese evenly along each ribbon. Arrange the radish, carrot, and cucumber matchsticks at one end, then top with a pinch of salt and fresh herbs.
- 3Roll each ribbon tightly from the vegetable-filled end. The cream cheese acts like glue to secure the edge.
Notes
- Make ahead: Prepare these rolls up to 1 hour before serving and let them stand at room temperature.
- Prep tip: Use a Y-peeler or mandoline to get perfectly even, thin zucchini ribbons.
