Ingredients
- lavash bread
- several cucumbers, thinly sliced
- cream cheese, at room temperature
- Kosher salt
- First of all, place the cucumber slices in a colander and sprinkle lightly with Kosher salt. Here's my inexpensive mandoline slicer which works great.
- Make sure the cucumbers are mixed with the salt, then let drain over the sink for about 10 minutes. Rinse and place on paper towels and dry gently.
- Lay a piece of lavash bread on your workspace and spread some cream cheese evenly (as shown in the picture) leaving one of the short ends with some empty space.
- Next, layer the cucumber slices over the cream cheese.
- Begin rolling the bread by the short end, but not the end with the space. Roll it tightly, not allowing any air gaps to form.
- Cut the cucumber and cream cheese sandwich roll with a sharp bread knife (wipe in between cuts) into 4 equal pieces and secure with a long sandwich pick.
- Serve the cucumber pinwheels immediately for best results, or refrigerate, for just a few hours.
