# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully blended and smooth.
02 - Wash and dry cucumbers thoroughly. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, slice cucumbers lengthwise into long, thin ribbons. You will need about 16 even slices.
03 - Place a cucumber ribbon flat on a clean work surface. Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons of chicken salad along one end. Top with a few julienned carrots if using. Gently roll up the cucumber, securing the filling inside. Place seam side down on a serving platter.
04 - Repeat with remaining ingredients until all the chicken salad is used. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for best texture and flavor.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The cool crunch against creamy filling feels like summer on a plate
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble them in minutes
02 -
  • The cucumber ribbons break more easily than you expect so work gently and do not worry about perfection
  • These are best eaten within a couple hours or the cucumber starts to weep and gets soggy
03 -
  • Pat the cucumber ribbons dry with paper towels before rolling to prevent them from slipping apart
  • Use the widest setting on your mandoline if you go that route because thin ribbons tear too easily
