• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• Onion powder, to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped
• Lime juice, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cucumber Strips:Thinly slice a cucumber lengthwise into long strips. A vegetable peeler or mandolin slicer works great for this.
2. Make the Chicken Salad:In a bowl, combine shredded chicken breast, chopped onion, cilantro, mashed avocado, and the cottage cheese dressing. Mix until well combined.
3. Blend the Cottage Cheese Dressing:In a blender, combine cottage cheese, olive oil, avocado, garlic, onion powder, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4. Assemble the Rolls:Lay out the cucumber strips. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream cheese over each strip. Add a couple of scoops of chicken salad to one end of the strip, then carefully roll it up.
5. Serve and Enjoy:Arrange the rolls on a platter for a light, fresh, and high-protein meal. For easier rolling, use a bamboo sushi mat to keep the rolls tight and uniform.
