Greek Salad Pinwheels are a fresh and flavorful appetizer featuring a creamy mixture of feta cheese and Greek yogurt combined with crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onion, and herbs, all rolled in spinach tortillas for a delicious Mediterranean-inspired bite-size treat.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 16 pinwheels (4 logs sliced into 4 servings each)

Ingredients

Filling

  • 8 ounces Feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Vegetables & Mix-ins

  • 3/4 cup finely diced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup diced pitted kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup finely minced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley
  • 3 roma tomatoes, seeded and diced

Wrap

  • 4 spinach tortillas, 12 inch size

Instructions

  1. Prepare Feta Mixture: In a food processor or blender, combine the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper, and dried oregano. Blend until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
  2. Mix Vegetables: In a medium sized bowl, combine the diced cucumber, diced tomatoes, kalamata olives, minced red onion, and fresh parsley. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then set the mixture aside.
  3. Warm Tortillas: Slightly warm the spinach tortillas in the microwave for about 15 to 20 seconds just until they become pliable, making them easier to roll.
  4. Assemble Pinwheels: Lay one warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread approximately one quarter of the feta cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about one-third of an inch clear around the edges. Then scoop and spread one quarter of the vegetable mixture evenly on top of the feta layer.
  5. Roll and Wrap: Carefully roll the tortilla into a tight log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside. Wrap the log tightly with plastic wrap to maintain its shape. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the wrapped logs for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up, which makes slicing easier. They can be refrigerated up to overnight.
  7. Slice and Serve: When ready to serve, unwrap the logs and slice them evenly with a sharp serrated knife into pinwheel pieces. Optionally, secure each pinwheel with a toothpick and arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh ingredients and good quality feta cheese.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and black pepper based on your preference for spice and flavor.
  • Make sure to chill the rolled tortillas well to achieve clean slices without the filling spilling out.
  • You can substitute spinach tortillas with whole wheat or tomato basil tortillas for a different flavor.
  • These pinwheels are perfect as an appetizer for parties, picnics, or light lunches.
