Cucumber Salad Bites
Cucumber salad bites are a tasty, decorative way to eat salad, garnish a plate or serve as a healthy appetizer. Cucumber rollups are an easy to make, low calorie snack.
Serve these low calorie salad bites with your favorite dressing or try my homemade Ranch Dip or Tzatziki Dip. Drizzle some salad dressing on top of the cucumber bites or use a side dish for dipping. Stuff with your favorite salad greens, avocado and colorful peppers. Slices of grilled chicken or beef can also be added to these healthy appetizer bites.
Tips for assembling cucumber bites.
Slice the the cucumber thin so it rolls easily, yet thick enough to hold everything inside.
Tying the cucumber with an edible green onion is very decorative, but you can also use a toothpick to hold the cucumber slice together.
These salad bites are best served soon after making so the fresh vegetables do not wilt and the avocado does not turn brown.

Laureen, these are so beautiful! Definitely something I want to try. Thank you for sharing.
thank you Stephanie, these are also great to garnish a plate
This looks lovely, even if someone does not like to eat salad would eat it with such nice presentation. buzzed!
thanks Balvinder, everything seems to taste better when it looks pretty doesn’t it.
I just clicked from Photograzing. Thanks for passing this recipe on. Love it and I can’t wait to make it. Lovely photo!
thanks Karen, love that Photograzing, they tend to be a bit better at accepting photos than some other food photo sites.
Thank you Mythreyi for the lovely comment. I used a very sharp chef’s knife. Cut one side flat first, then slice with cucumber secure on cutting board.
Check back soon I will be posted a wonderful avocado citrus salad.
thanks Linda
Very pretty! If you microwave the green onons for 20 seconds, they will be soft enough to actually tie them around the cucumber without breaking and eliminate the toothpick.
thanks for that tip, I will do that next time I make them.
