# Directions:

01 - Combine shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until fully blended and creamy.
02 - Wash and dry cucumbers thoroughly. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, slice cucumbers lengthwise into long, thin ribbons. Aim for approximately 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 julienned carrots if using.
04 - Gently roll the cucumber ribbon around the filling, securing the chicken salad inside. Place seam side down on a serving platter.
05 - Repeat the rolling process with remaining cucumber ribbons and chicken salad mixture until all ingredients are used.
06 - Serve immediately for optimal crunch, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving. Do not refrigerate longer or cucumbers will become soggy.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between cold cucumber and creamy chicken salad is ridiculously satisfying
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble right before serving
  • They look elegant but take about twenty minutes from start to finish
02 -
  • If your cucumber ribbons keep tearing, try slicing them slightly thicker or pat them dry with paper towels first
  • The chicken salad needs to be thicker than you'd put on bread, or it will squeeze out when you roll
  • These really are best served the same day, as the cucumber starts to soften after about four hours
03 -
  • Use room temperature ingredients for the chicken salad so everything blends smoothly
  • If you're making these for a party, set up a little assembly station with everything laid out
