Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Cucumber
• 1 large Avocado
• 100 grams Smoked salmon
• 50 grams Cream cheese
• 3 sheets Nori sheets
• 0 Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 0 Pickled ginger
• 0 Wasabi

Directions

Step 1

Peel the cucumbers and cut off the ends. Slice them lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Ensure the slices are uniform in thickness for easy rolling.

Step 2

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel it, and slice it into thin strips.

Step 3

Lay a nori sheet on a clean, dry surface or sushi mat. Align the shiny side down if possible.

Step 4

Place the cucumber slices over the nori sheet, overlapping slightly, to cover the entire sheet.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over the cucumber slices. This will help to hold the other ingredients in place.

Step 6

Lay pieces of smoked salmon across one edge of the nori, followed by several strips of avocado.

Step 7

Using the edge of a sushi mat or your hands, carefully roll up the nori, tucking the ingredients inside, and apply gentle yet consistent pressure to form a tight roll.

Step 8

Once rolled, press in the seam to seal the roll together and let it sit seam-side down to set.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 10

Once all rolls are complete, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife, cleaning the blade between cuts for best results.

Step 11

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sliced maki pieces for added texture and flavor.

Step 12

Serve the keto cucumber maki with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
