Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 4 ounces Cream Cheese
• 4 sheets Nori Sheets
• 1 Cucumber
• 1 Avocado
• 8 ounces Smoked Salmon
• 2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds
• 4 tablespoons Soy Sauce (or Coconut Aminos for Gluten-Free)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the cauliflower rice: Remove the leaves and stem, and cut the cauliflower into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the florets until they reach a rice-like consistency.

Step 2

2. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the cauliflower rice for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Step 3

3. Once cooled, mix the cauliflower rice with the cream cheese until well combined, creating a sticky rice alternative.

Step 4

4. Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin strips. Halve and pit the avocado, then slice it thinly.

Step 5

5. Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Evenly spread 1/4 of the cauliflower and cream cheese mixture on the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 6

6. Arrange a few strips of cucumber, avocado, and smoked salmon across the center of the cauliflower rice on each nori sheet.

Step 7

7. To roll, gently lift the edge of the sushi mat closest to you, holding the filling in place with your fingers. Begin rolling the mat away from you, firmly pressing to create a tight roll.

Step 8

8. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the roll. Using a sharp knife, slice into 6-8 pieces.

Step 9

9. Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets.

Step 10

10. Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce or coconut aminos for dipping.
