Raw Cucumber Roll-Ups, Vegan + Gluten-Free
Today we’re going to get a little fancy.
Well, actually more like fancy-looking but secretly super simple.
Today’s Vegan, Gluten-Free Raw Cucumber Roll-Ups are rather swanky looking and perfect for impressing guests or showing off your skills at a potluck.
I filled the rolls with a cashew-based cheese spread which requires a little prep-ahead time but you could also use hummus or vegan cream cheese. The vegetables I used were somewhat chosen at random based on what was in at my local food coop but the sky’s the limit with what veggies you can use!
