Combining the crispness of cucumber with the savory flavors of turkey ham and the creamy texture of cream cheese, this easy-to-make recipe offers a harmonious blend of taste and presentation.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the cucumber thoroughly under cold water.
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel the cucumber if desired. This is optional and based on personal texture preference.
- Slice the cucumber into thin, long strips. You can use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices or a sharp knife.
- Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to spread.
- Lay a cucumber strip flat on a clean surface, such as a cutting board.
- Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese on the cucumber strip using a butter knife or a small spatula.
- Place a small piece of turkey ham on top of the cream cheese-covered cucumber strip. You may need to trim the ham slice to fit the width of the cucumber strip.
- Starting at one end of the cucumber strip, carefully roll it up into a pinwheel shape. Ensure the cream cheese side is on the inside to help the pinwheel hold its shape.
- Secure the pinwheel with a toothpick if desired to keep it together.
- Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber strips, cream cheese, and turkey ham until all ingredients are used.
- Arrange the turkey pinwheel cucumber bites on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste. These bites make a great appetizer, snack, or party food.
Tips:
- Make sure to use a vegetable peeler or mandoline to slice the cucumber thinly, ensuring that it rolls up easily.
- For a more flavorful cream cheese spread, consider adding some finely chopped herbs like dill, chives, or parsley.
- To avoid the bites from unrolling, use small toothpicks to secure them in place.
- Chill the cucumber bites in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving for a refreshing snack.
- Experiment with other fillings like smoked salmon or roasted red peppers for variety.
Turkey Pinwheel Cucumber Bites with Cream Cheese are not only quick and easy to prepare but also a nutritious and visually appealing snack or appetizer.
