Simple Raw Zucchini Roll-Ups with cashew cream cheese, asparagus and dill.
Super cute raw vegan zucchini roll-ups that happen to be perfect as light and healthy appetiser or quick snack. These zucchini rolls are filled with a creamy, herbed cashew cheese, asparagus, scallions and dill, so they are full of fresh flavours. They are easy and quick to make and look oh-so-pretty. Is it just me, or veggies really taste a lot better when they look fancy?! These here are such delightful spring bites.
I’ve been a huge fan of cucumber and zucchini roll-ups for quite some time, because they are ridiculously simple to make and require only a few ingredients and no major kitchen prep. These babies are great for spring or summer time, when you want something light and fresh, and probably even raw. But of course if raw veggies are not your thing, feel free to grill your zucchini and asparagus first. I really love these with cashew cream cheese, but for an extra quick version hummus is a great alternative here too. Honestly, you can’t really go wrong with such recipes, just get creative!

Simple Raw Zucchini Roll-Ups
- Total Time: 15 mins
- Yield: 15-20 rolls 1x
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini
- 8–10 asparagus
- 3 scallions
- 1 cup of cashew cream cheese
- small bunch of fresh dill
- salt, pepper
Instructions
- Using a mandolin or a sharp knife slice zucchini into thin strips.
- Trim asparagus, and cut the tip end into 6-8 cm/2-3 inch long pieces.* Halve thicker stems lengthwise. Halve scallions lengthwise as well then cut into smaller pieces.
- Put a dollop of cashew cheese at the end of a zucchini slice. Top with asparagus, scallion and dill, and season with salt and pepper. Roll up tightly and place seam side down on a serving plate. Repeat this with remaining zucchini slices. Enjoy!
Notes
* I only used the tops of the asparagus here, but you can use the ends as well, if you prefer. Or you can save them for later to make a soup or stir-fry.

Simple, and so adorable..had some cucumber rolls before, but they didn’t look this pretty like yours.
Thanks, Angie 🙂
Oh wow! These raw zucchini roll ups indeed looks super cute, Evi. I am sure they will make a Summer snack or salad. And that herbed cashew cheese is making me drool. So much in love with these easy and quick roll ups. YUM!
Oh, I’m totally into summer snacks nowadays! Finally the good weather is here 😉
I love this idea! Just curious, you mentioned using cucumbers for wraps sometimes and I wondered what type of cucumber you use? So many are watery with seeds that I can’t picture working as well as the zucchini, but I love the idea.
I don’t know the name of that cucumber type in english unfortunately, it’s like a big gherkin. 😉 It’s not that watery and has almost no seeds…
But often when I can’t find those, I just use regular, english cucumber. Then I only use the outer part without the watery seeds. And I save the inside for drinks. It’s great with mint and lemon juice 🙂
Thanks! I’ll be trying these with both zucchini and cucumber. 🙂
Let me know how you liked them 😉
Now, that is just beautiful!!!
Thanks, Adina 🙂
Drooling, pinning and making this weekend!!
Thanks for sharing Evi.. 🙂
Thanks, Puja!
Let me know how you liked it 😉
Ahhhh Evi! You always get it stop on. How do you make something so simple look so elegant and beautiful? Loving how fresh and light these sound for summer!
You are so sweet, Lucie! Thank you so much!
Will these hold up if I make the night before for a luncheon?
Hi Carol,
Sorry for the late reply, I was on holiday and had no internet connection.
You can assemble the rolls the night before, however the zucchini will get a bit soggy and won’t be crunchy anymore. Also some liquid will leak from the zucchinis, so it’s best to make them fresh. What you could do for a quick morning assembly is prepare the ingredients separately. Slice the asparagus and green onion, make the cream cheese, and slice the zucchini (for best result I’d put a kitchen towel or paper towels between the slices).
If you really wanna make these a day ahead, try to make sure you keep them in the fridge as long as possible, that way they have a better chance to hold up.
Let me know how they worked 🙂
Really tasty! Surprisingly simple to assemble! I made with cucumber instead of zucchini. They got snarfed up at a recent family gathering. Which is saying something because folks done usually eat the food that I bring to these things.
Hi Chante! Thanks for the awesome feedback, I’m really glad you and your family liked these! 🙂
