Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 medium avocado
- 100 grams smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline slicer, cut long thin slices from the cucumber to create sheets. These will act as the 'rice' layer for the maki rolls.
Step 2
Halve and pit the avocado. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
Lay out a cucumber sheet on a clean surface or sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over the cucumber sheet, covering about three-quarters of the length.
Step 4
Next, spread a thin layer of mashed avocado over the cream cheese.
Step 5
Place a strip of smoked salmon across one end of the cucumber sheet.
Step 6
Carefully roll the cucumber slice starting from the salmon end. Use your sushi mat to help compress the roll tightly.
Step 7
Once rolled, slice the cucumber maki into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean edges.
Step 8
Sprinkle the sliced maki rolls with sesame seeds.
Step 9
Serve with soy sauce and a side of wasabi paste for dipping. Enjoy your low-carb cucumber maki!
