Easy Cucumber Roll Up Recipe: An Everything But the Bagel Seasoning Recipe
The ingredients for this easy cucumber roll up recipe are simple: cucumbers, radishes, cream cheese, and Everything but the Bagel seasoning (which I get at Trader Joe’s).

There’s a few tricks to making this recipe work. You’ll need a mandolin or veggie peeler to get nice thin slices of radish..

Same with the cucumber. You’ll also need to salt the cucumber, by sprinkling it all with a few pinches of salt and letting them drain through a strainer for about 30 minutes. If you skip salting the cucumber, it will quickly become soggy and your whole dish will have a puddle of green water – not appetizing.

When assembling your cucumber roll ups, you’ll want to use just a small smear of cream cheese, which acts as the “glue”, then align your radishes so they peek over the top edge, so you get a pretty rose look when it’s all rolled up.

When they’re all assembled, douse them with Everything but the Bagel seasoning and gobble them up.

Instructions

1. Use a mandolin or vegetable peeler to very thinly slice the radishes

2. Use a veggie peeler to thinly slice the cucumber into long strips. I usually toss the first 2-3 slices. When you get down to the seeds, flip the cucumber over and slice the other side. Don’t bother using the center of the cucumber that is very moist and seedy.

3. Salt the cucumbers slices by sprinkling with a few pinches of salt, tossing, and setting them in a strainer over a bowl or the sink. Let the cucumbers sit for 30 minutes to one hour. This will remove a large part of the moisture and ensure the cucumbers are crunchy and not soggy. Don’t skip this step or your whole dish will become a puddle.

4. Rinse the cucumber slices and pat dry. Smear a bit of cream cheese across a cucumber slice. Arrange three to four radish slices along the cucumber, with the tops of the radishes peeking over the edge of the cucumber. Roll from left to right. Make sure there is a little dab of cream cheese on the end of the slice, which will make sure it doesn’t unroll.

5. Arrange on your serving dish. Sprinkle with a generous amount of Everything but the Bagel seasoning. Serve cold. Pop one into your mouth. Keeping popping till they’re all gone!
