    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.

    Thin sliced cucumber rolled, tied with green onion and stuffed with salad greens and avocado.

    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.

    Salad greens, cucumber, red and yellow pepper slices and avocado slices on wood cutting board.

    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.

      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.

      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.
