Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- ½ cup cooked and shredded chicken
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup diced celery
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives and dill for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the cucumber: Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Aim for slices thin enough to be rolled easily without breaking.
- Make the buffalo chicken filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, mayonnaise, diced celery, and diced red onion. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the rolls: Lay a cucumber slice flat and spoon about a tablespoon of the buffalo chicken filling at one end. Carefully roll the cucumber slice around the filling to create a neat roll. Repeat this process with the remaining cucumber slices and filling.
- Garnish and serve: Arrange the cucumber rolls on a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped chives and dill for added color and flavor. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer for uniformly thin cucumber slices to ensure easy rolling.
- For a milder version, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce or substitute with ranch dressing.
- These rolls are best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving to keep the cucumbers crisp.
- Shredded chicken can be substituted with rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- To make it dairy-free, use a mayonnaise alternative that suits dietary needs.
