These refreshing Cucumber Wraps with Green Goddess Dressing offer the perfect light yet satisfying option when you're craving something fresh but flavorful. Crisp cucumber batons and crunchy romaine lettuce are wrapped in soft tortillas with a vibrant, herb-packed dressing.

The first time I served these cucumber wraps at a gathering, they disappeared quickly! My friend Sarah, who typically prefers indulgent foods, kept coming back for more. The combination of cool cucumber, creamy herb-packed dressing, and Parmesan makes these wraps irresistibly craveable.

These Cucumber Wraps prove healthy eating can be satisfying and crave-worthy. They demonstrate how fresh, simple ingredients prepared thoughtfully can create something truly special.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
You can prepare the Green Goddess dressing up to 3 days ahead and store it in the refrigerator. The assembled wraps are best enjoyed the same day they're made, as the cucumbers and lettuce will release moisture over time, potentially making the tortillas soggy. If you need to make them a few hours ahead, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.
→ How can I make these wraps dairy-free?
To make these wraps dairy-free, substitute the cream cheese with dairy-free cream cheese, use plant-based milk instead of regular milk, replace the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or dairy-free yogurt, and omit the Parmesan cheese or use a dairy-free alternative. The flavor profile will change slightly, but the wraps will still be delicious.
→ What can I serve with these cucumber wraps?
These wraps work well as a light lunch on their own, but you can also serve them with a side of fresh fruit, a small cup of soup, or some baked sweet potato fries for a more substantial meal. They also make great appetizers for parties when cut into smaller pieces.
→ What if I don't have all the herbs for the Green Goddess dressing?
The herb combination is flexible. If you don't have basil or parsley, you can substitute with other fresh herbs like cilantro, dill, tarragon, or chives. Just aim to maintain the same total volume of herbs (1 cup total). Each substitution will change the flavor profile slightly, but still maintain that fresh, herbaceous quality.
→ Can I use something other than flour tortillas?
Yes, there are several alternatives you can use instead of flour tortillas. Try whole wheat tortillas for added fiber, spinach or herb wraps for extra flavor, lettuce leaves for a lower-carb option, or even lavash bread. Rice paper wrappers also work for a gluten-free alternative, though they have a different texture.

Difficulty: Easy

Cuisine: American

Yield: 8 Servings (8 wrap halves)

Dietary: Vegetarian

Ingredients

→ For the Wraps

01 4 flour tortilla wraps
02 2 seedless cucumbers (can use traditional cucumbers with seeds but seedless is preferred)
03 Romaine lettuce
04 Grated Parmesan cheese
05 2 oz cream cheese, softened
06 Toothpicks

→ For the Green Goddess Dressing

07 1/2 cup fresh basil
08 1 clove garlic, grated
09 1/2 cup fresh parsley
10 2 tablespoons lemon juice
11 1/2 teaspoon salt
12 1/4 cup milk
13 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
14 1/2 cup diced scallions (include the light green and white parts)

Instructions

Step 01

Peel both cucumbers, then slice them completely through the center from end to end so you have two long halves. Take each long half and slice lengthwise 4-5 times to create cucumber sticks. Each wrap will use one halved cucumber cut into sticks (you'll be making 4 full wraps in total).

Step 02

Place all of the green goddess dressing ingredients (basil, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, milk, Greek yogurt, and scallions) in a food processor, blender, or NutriBullet. Process until completely smooth. Note that you'll have extra dressing that you can use on salads during the week.

Step 03

In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon of the green goddess dressing. Stir until smooth using a fork to help incorporate the cream cheese into the dressing.

Step 04

Lay one tortilla flat and spread some of the cream cheese/green goddess mixture over it, leaving the edges bare. Sprinkle with approximately 1/2 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese (add more if desired for extra cheesiness). Top with a handful of romaine lettuce, then place one of the sliced cucumber halves on top.

Step 05

Roll up the tortilla tightly and secure with 2 toothpicks. Slice into 2 equal halves. Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas until all cucumber sticks have been used. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  1. You will have extra Green Goddess dressing that can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days and used on salads.
  2. Seedless cucumbers work best for this recipe as they have fewer seeds and less water content.
  3. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortilla wraps.
  4. The wraps can be prepared a few hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator, but are best enjoyed the same day to maintain their crunch and freshness.
