Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 sliced avocado
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 0.5 red bell pepper
- 2 scallions
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 sushi rolling mat
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the cucumber thoroughly. Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin, even strips. Aim for strips around 1/8 inch thick or less. Avoid using the seeded core, which can make the rolls watery.
Step 2
Lay the sliced cucumber sections side by side on a sushi rolling mat, slightly overlapping to prevent gaps.
Step 3
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese across the overlapping cucumber slices, leaving a small margin along the edges for sealing.
Step 4
Arrange the smoked salmon, avocado slices, red bell pepper strips, and scallions evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Step 5
Using the sushi rolling mat, gently roll the cucumber slices over the filling. Apply even pressure to ensure the roll holds its shape.
Step 6
Sprinkle the outside of each roll with toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and a bit of crunch.
Step 7
Place the cucumber roll seam-side down on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces.
Step 8
Serve the cucumber sushi rolls immediately with soy sauce or tamari on the side for dipping. For a little bit of spice, add wasabi if desired.
