Prep time: 15 minutes
Assemble & Chill time: 15 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
For the Spread
½ cup cream cheese (softened) or Greek yogurt for lighter version
2 tbsp hummus
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
For the Filling
1 small cucumber, finely diced
½ red bell pepper, finely diced
¼ cup black olives, sliced
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
For Rolling
2 large soft flatbreads (tortilla, lavash, or naan)
Instructions
1. Make the Spread
In a bowl, mix cream cheese (or Greek yogurt), hummus, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning.
2. Prepare the Filling
Dice cucumber, bell pepper, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and chop parsley.
Mix gently with crumbled feta (if using).
3. Assemble the Pinwheels
Lay one flatbread on a clean surface.
Spread half of the creamy mixture evenly over the flatbread, leaving a small ½-inch border around edges.
Evenly sprinkle half of the veggie filling over the spread.
Roll the flatbread tightly into a log, starting from one edge.
Repeat with second flatbread and remaining ingredients.
4. Chill and Slice
Wrap each log in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
Slice each log into 1-inch pinwheels.
Arrange on a platter and serve.
Tips
Make it ahead: The pinwheels stay fresh in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
For a low-carb version, use large lettuce leaves instead of flatbread.
Add protein: shredded cooked chicken, turkey, or smoked salmon works well.
For extra flavor, drizzle with a little balsamic glaze or sprinkle za’atar on the spread.
