Keto Prosciutto Mozzarella Cucumber Rollups
Enjoy this super fast Keto recipe as a quick cold snack or lunch prep. Fresh whole milk mozzarella, fresh basil, and a drizzle of EVOO are tucked inside a rollup of salty prosciutto and cooling cucumber. Each bite has the snap of cucumber, savory herbs, and chewy cheese. If you’re feeling a little fatigued from a lack of sodium, this would be a great snack to help perk you up. The sodium content in the prosciutto and mozzarella will increase your energy, along with the Keto fat. It’s not recommended that you refrigerate the completed recipe for more than a day. Any longer, and the cucumber and olive oil will make the other ingredients soggy. The nutritional information listed per serving is for a single rollup. The recommendation for a filling snack or meal is 4 rollups.
How Does This Recipe Help Fatigue?
When you start the Keto diet, you may experience a couple of weeks of exhaustion. That may seem controversial since the Keto diet is intended to increase your overall energy and focus. When you initially cut out most processed foods and foods with high carbohydrates, you are also cutting out high amounts of sodium. If you’ve eaten a lot of processed foods in the past, cutting down on your sodium intake is probably a good thing. However, your body will need to adjust, and eating nutritional foods with extra salt is an easy way to combat the fatigue you may feel. This fatigue is also known as the “Keto Flu”.

What Other Ingredients Can I Use?
This Keto snack recipe is very versatile. Since you only need a few ingredients, it’s easy to make other delicious combinations that are Keto friendly. Swap out prosciutto for your favorite deli-sliced ham. You can also use slices of turkey, salami, or cooked bacon. Mozzarella cheese is one of the best cheese you can eat on a Keto diet. However, if you want a little more flavor, try using a pepper jack cheese, cheddar cheese, or gouda in your rollup. If you want to make your snack more filling, go green! Add fresh spinach or arugula to your rollups for a more nutritionally dense recipe.

Recipe Steps

10 min
Step 1
Use a vegetable peeler to peel strips away from a whole cucumber. Choose the best 12 strips that are equal length (3 strips used per rollup). The total strips you use should equal the weight listed in the ingredients. Lay the cucumber strips flat on a piece of paper towel and press a second paper towel over the strips to absorb excess liquid.Step 2
Arrange each rollup by laying 3 cucumber strips vertically. Overlap each strip about halfway over the previous one. Then, lay a slice of prosciutto over each portion of layered cucumber strips. Lay a ½-ounce slice of fresh mozzarella cheese at the base of each strip of prosciutto. Follow up by placing a single basil leaf on top of each slice of cheese.Step 3
Drizzle the EVOO gently over each portion of mozzarella cheese. One by one, roll each rollup by wrapping the end of cucumber and prosciutto nearest you over the mozzarella cheese slice. Then, tightly roll up each portion, tucking the remaining end of cucumber and prosciutto under each rollup. Eat right away as a snack or part of an easy lunch.
