    These melt-in-the-mouth cucumber rolls, topped with creamy burrata and juicy tomato, are a breath of summer freshness. Ready in no time(10 minutes), it's the summer aperitif that will let you enjoy your friends and the sun to the full without worrying about spending too much time in the kitchen!

    💙 Why you'll love them

    • They are express (10 minutes) so perfect for last-minute guests.
    • They're super-easy to make: just slice the cucumber, garnish and roll up.
    • They require only a handful of ingredients, which are simple to find and use.
    • They are vegetarian and gluten-free.

    🥒 Ingredients

    You'll need the following ingredients. You can find the quantities in the recipe card below.

    • Cucumbers: they're in season from May to October!
    • Burrata: you can replace it with goat cheese or cream cheese if you prefer.
    • A tomato: in season from June to October included.
    • Avocado - did you know that, depending on the country of origin of your avocados, you run the risk of enriching the mafia? Find out more about green gold and alternatives in this Eco Tips.
    • For the toppings: pine nuts, Espelette pepper and a sprinkling of fresh chives.

    ✨ Customize my cucumber rolls

    You can vary the toppings: I like the one with cream cheese, smoked salmon and avocado too.

    Otherwise, be as creative as you like: shrimps, chicken slices, crunchy vegetables (carrots or peppers, for example), aromatic herbs (coriander or mint), etc...

    ✅ Vegan and dairy-free version

    To make this recipe vegan and dairy-free, simply remove the burrata and replace it with the vegan cheese of your choice.

    🥰 The chef's advice

    Before garnishing, wipe your cucumber slices with absorbent paper (such as Sopalin).

    💡 Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to peel the cucumber before making the slices?

    No, not if you use organic cucumbers.

    Can I do them in advance?

    They're best eaten just after preparation, when they're at their freshest and crunchiest. I don't recommend preparing them ahead of time, as the cucumber may become watery and soft.

    What to serve them with?

    You can opt for vegetable sticks (carrots, peppers, celery or radishes), to bring a nice variety of flavors and textures.
    Seafood for the appetizer can be a nice option too: cooked shrimps, pieces of crab, slices of smoked salmon, etc…
    Alternatively, you can simply serve them with a salad as an appetizer.

    Which wine to drink with it?

    A dry white wine (Vermentino or Pinot Grigio), a dry rosé (Côtes de Provence) or a sparkling white wine like Prosecco are excellent options!

    ❄️ Storage

    You can place the cucumber rolls in an airtight container box in the fridge. They will keep for about 2 days.

    I don't recommend freezing them, as they'll be all floaty and tasteless when defrosted.

    😋 Other ideas with cucumber

    • Salmon, tomato, halloumi, cucumber & yogurt salad
    • Bagel with smoked salmon, cucumber, runny egg & yoghurt sauce
