Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 large English cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 medium Carrot
• 0.5 unit Red bell pepper
• 0.5 unit Yellow bell pepper
• 0 optional Soy sauce or tamari (for dipping)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, gently cook the cauliflower rice for about 5 minutes, until it's just tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the slightly cooled cauliflower rice with the cream cheese and rice vinegar. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles a sticky rice texture.

Step 3

Using a mandolin or a very sharp knife, slice the English cucumber lengthwise into thin long strips. These will replace the traditional seaweed wrap, so make sure they are as thin as possible to roll easily.

Step 4

Julienne the carrot, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper into thin strips. Slice the avocado into even thin slices.

Step 5

To assemble the roll, lay down a piece of plastic wrap on a bamboo sushi mat, then layer the cucumber slices, overlapping slightly, to form a solid base.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the cucumber slices, leaving about an inch at the far end without rice.

Step 7

Place a row of carrot, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and avocado slices across the center of the rice.

Step 8

Using the bamboo sushi mat, carefully roll the cucumber and rice over the vegetable fillings, pressing gently to secure the roll.

Step 9

Once rolled, remove the plastic wrap carefully and, using a sharp knife, slice the roll into even pieces.

Step 10

To serve, arrange the keto rainbow roll slices on a plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and accompany with soy sauce or tamari for dipping, if desired.
