Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons Cream Cheese
• 2 teaspoons Rice Vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Toasted Sesame Seeds
• 4 sheets Nori Sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 4 ounces Smoked Salmon
• 4 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 2 tablespoons Pickled Ginger

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it has a rice-like texture.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the pulsed cauliflower on high for 3-5 minutes or until tender, stirring once halfway through.

Step 3

Allow the cauliflower to cool slightly, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 4

Transfer the cauliflower to a mixing bowl and add cream cheese, rice vinegar, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the toasted sesame seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cauliflower mixture.

Step 6

Peel the cucumber, then cut into thin julienne strips. Peel and slice the avocado into long strips.

Step 7

Place a sheet of nori on a sushi mat, shiny side down.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 9

Place cucumber, avocado, and smoked salmon slices in a line down the center of the cauliflower-covered nori.

Step 10

Roll the sushi tightly using the sushi mat, applying gentle but firm pressure to hold the shape.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 12

Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 8 pieces.

Step 13

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
