A Note From My Kitchen
I can't resist a nice big Greek Salad. I like them so much that occasionally on Friday pizza night I forgo the pizza all together dine on just salad instead.
These delicious roll ups mimic the flavors of my favorite salad and please kids and adults alike! I made them for my daughter's birthday party and all I can say is yum, yum, yum.
I personally am not a big fan of olives, but I found chopped olives in a can where the pieces of olives are just tiny enough that they give great flavor without leaving me cringing and trying to pick the little buggers out.
I focus on recipes that are practical, repeatable, and worth making again, and this one meets all three. I know you'll love them!
Happy cooking,
Ingredient Notes
- Cream cheese: 1 (8-ounce) container of Philadelphia Garlic and Herb Whipped Cream Cheese, is what I use, but feel free to sub with other varieties.
- Feta cheese: Use pre-crumbled feta cheese or feta you crumble yourself.
- Cucumber: Finely chopped cucumber works best for easy rolling and slicing.
- Flour tortillas: Use burrito-size flour tortillas for easier rolling.
- Black olives: Finely chop the olives so they distribute evenly through the pinwheels or buy pre-chopped olives. Kalamata olives can be used as a substitute.
- Plum tomatoes: Chop and, if needed, lightly drain juicy tomatoes so the tortillas do not get soggy.
- Fresh spinach: Use fresh spinach and roughly chop, if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Greek pinwheels ahead of time?
Yes. Make them a few hours ahead, wrap the rolled tortillas tightly, and slice right before serving for the cleanest cuts.What can I use instead of whipped cream cheese?
If you cannot find whipped cream cheese, use plain cream cheese and season it with Italian herbs.How do I keep tortilla pinwheels from getting soggy?
Pat the spinach dry and use tomatoes that are not overly juicy before rolling.What is the easiest way to slice appetizer pinwheels?
Use a serrated knife and slice in a gentle sawing motion. Slice into nice thick pieces so they don't fall apart.
Two Bite Take
"I don't think there's a such thing as too much feta, so next time I'll be loading them up with even more!"
