Cucumber Green Goddess Wraps
The First Bite – A Delicious Memory 🍃
I remember the first time I whipped these up. It was a sunny Saturday afternoon, and I’d just returned home from a bustling farmers’ market carrying fresh produce and craving a lunch that matched the bright weather outside. Peeking into my haul, fresh cucumbers and vibrant herbs practically begged me to turn them into something delicious. I hadn’t planned on anything specific, but inspiration struck—why not put that gorgeous produce to tasty use?

I immediately made more and invited friends over, and these wraps quickly became legendary among my buddies! Since then, they’ve become a regular in my kitchen.

👩🍳 Directions to Green Goddess Yumminess!
Step 1: Slice the Cucumbers
Peel the cucumbers and slice them into long thin sticks. Make sure you’ve got enough to divide them evenly between your 4 wraps. Setting them aside.
Step 2: Whirl Up that Green Goddess Goodness
In a blender, combine fresh basil, parsley, scallions, grated garlic, lemon juice, salt, milk, and Greek yogurt. Blend until creamy and beautifully green (Pro tip: sneak a quick taste test—chef’s privilege!).
Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Wrap Spread
In a separate small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with about â…“ cup + 1 tablespoon of your prepared Green Goddess dressing. Blend thoroughly until it’s smooth, creamy, and irresistible.
Step 4: Wrap it Up & Roll it Tight!
Lay one tortilla wrap flat, and spread your cream cheese dressing generously through the middle of your tortilla. Sprinkle it lightly with grated Parmesan cheese.
