Introduction

Greek Salad Sushi is a fresh and healthy twist on traditional sushi, combining crisp cucumber slices with classic Greek flavors. This no-rice roll is quick to prepare and perfect for a light lunch or appetizer with a Mediterranean flair.

The image shows several small cucumber roll-ups placed on a white plate over a white marbled surface. Each roll-up is made of thin, green cucumber slices rolled into spirals about two layers thick. Inside these rolls, there are small bits of white cheese, tiny pieces of red pepper, and small chunks of dark olives, giving a mix of colors inside the green cucumber. The rolls are held together with small wooden toothpicks, and each one is topped with a small sprig of fresh green dill. The light shining on the rolls highlights their fresh, moist texture and bright colors. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 Cucumber
1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
1 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Fresh Dill
Salt, to taste
Ground Black Pepper, to taste
1/2 Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Red Onion
1/4 cup Feta Cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Chop the ends off the cucumber and use a mandolin or vegetable peeler to cut thin, lengthwise slices. Lay the slices on several layers of paper towels, cover with more towels, and gently pat dry. Let them sit while you prepare the tzatziki.
Step 2: To make the tzatziki, mix the plain Greek yogurt, juice of one lemon, minced garlic clove, fresh dill, salt, and ground black pepper in a bowl until well combined.
Step 3: Spread a thin layer of tzatziki onto each cucumber slice. Top with slices of bell pepper, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Carefully roll up each slice and secure it with a toothpick. Repeat until all ingredients are used.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add chopped Kalamata olives inside the rolls.
If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle a bit of crushed red pepper flakes into the tzatziki mixture.
Use a mandolin with a safety guard to ensure even, thin cucumber slices and protect your fingers.

Storage

Store the prepared Greek Salad Sushi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Because cucumbers release moisture, it’s best to enjoy these fresh and soon after preparation. Reheating is not recommended.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is preferred for its thick texture, which helps the tzatziki stick to the cucumber slices. Using regular yogurt may result in a thinner sauce that doesn’t hold as well, but it can be used if strained beforehand.

How do I keep the cucumber slices from getting soggy?

Patting the cucumber slices dry with paper towels and letting them sit before assembling helps remove excess moisture, preventing sogginess and keeping the rolls crisp.
