🌈 Substitutions and Variations

🔪How to Make Vegetable Cucumber Bite Appetizers
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and ranch seasoning and mix well.
Using a peeler or mandolin, cut long thin slices of the cucumbers.
Once you’ve reached the seeds then stop and start with another cucumber.
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese mixture on each cucumber slice.
To be able to count this accurately for Weight Watchers make sure you use one teaspoon of cream cheese per cucumber roll.
3 teaspoons of cream cheese is the equivalent of one tablespoon and one tablespoon equals three weight watcher points.
Cut the peppers into large matchstick size pieces. I made mine a little bigger than the carrot matchsticks.
At the end of each cucumber slice, lay a few carrots, and one of each colour pepper pieces.
Start at the end with the veggies and roll up the cucumber slices.
You can put a little extra ranch cream cheese at end of the cucumber slice to make sure the roll sticks when you stand them up.
Serve right away or chill for a few hours first.
Easy healthy appetizers the whole family will love!
👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Use fresh, firm cucumbers like English cucumbers for the best texture and flavor.
- For a flavorful filling, mix softened cream cheese with ranch seasoning, and consider adding finely chopped vegetables like red, green, and yellow peppers, along with matchstick carrots.
- Slice the cucumbers lengthwise using a peeler or mandolin to create thin, uniform slices; this helps in rolling them neatly with the filling and vegetables.
