Ingredients

• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 4 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
• 4 ounces Smoked salmon
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (optional, for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower rice by cooking it in a microwave for 3-4 minutes or steaming it until slightly tender. Let it cool completely before proceeding.

Step 2

Mix the cooled cauliflower rice with rice vinegar and cream cheese. This will help bind the rice together and give it a tangy flavor.

Step 3

Thinly slice the cucumber and avocado into strips to use as fillings.

Step 4

Lay one sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi rolling mat or a sheet of plastic wrap.

Step 5

Spread a thin, even layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge uncovered.

Step 6

Arrange thin slices of smoked salmon, cucumber strips, and avocado slices horizontally across the center of the cauliflower rice.

Step 7

Using the bamboo mat or plastic wrap, carefully roll the nori sheet tightly over the fillings. Press gently to shape it into a firm roll, sealing the edge with a bit of water if needed.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 9

Using a sharp, wet knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wetting the knife prevents sticking for clean cuts.

Step 10

Serve your low carb sushi immediately with optional soy sauce for dipping!
