šŸ§… 1/2 red onion, finely diced
šŸ’§ 2 cups of water
šŸŒæ A handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
šŸ„‘ 1 avocado, cubed
šŸ§€ 5 tbsp cottage cheese
šŸ„„ 3 tbsp mayonnaise
šŸ§‚ 1 tbsp onion powder

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes (assembly only)
Total Time: 20 minutes
Equipment: Peeler, blender, knife, bowl
Servings: 4
Instructions:

  1. Begin with your pre-cooked, shredded chicken. If you're starting from scratch, shred the chicken using two forks or dice it thinly.

  2. Take your finely diced red onion and soak it in the 2 cups of water for 10 minutes. This will tame its strong flavor. Afterwards, drain the onions and place them into a mixing bowl.

  3. To the onions, add the chopped fresh cilantro and the freshly cubed avocado.

  4. Prepare the dressing by blending together the cottage cheese, mayonnaise, onion powder, lime juice, a handful of cilantro, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste after blending.

  5. Combine the prepared dressing with the bowl of chicken, onions, cilantro, and avocado. This is your chicken salad, ready to be served in multiple ways, including cucumber rolls.

  6. Using a peeler, thinly slice the English cucumber lengthwise.

  7. On a sheet of parchment paper, arrange the cucumber slices, slightly overlapping each other by about a third.

  8. Gently pat the cucumber slices dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

  9. Spread the whipped cream cheese evenly over the cucumber slices.

  10. Place about 4oz of the chicken mixture at one end of the cucumber slices, leaving some space at the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out when rolled.

  11. Add a few more slices of onion and avocado on top of the chicken mixture for an extra burst of flavor.

  12. Carefully roll the cucumber tightly starting from the end where the chicken mixture lies, folding over the toppings, and continue rolling, pressing down to ensure a tight pack.

  13. With a sharp knife, slice the roll into your desired thickness.

  14. Finish by sprinkling everything bagel seasoning and a drizzle of chipotle hot sauce on top of your cucumber rolls.

  15. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing and high-protein meal.
