Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 6 ounces Fresh salmon (sushi-grade)
• 1 whole Avocado
• 1 small Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 0.5 teaspoons Wasabi
• 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into florets and process in a food processor until it resembles rice.

Step 2

Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl, cover it loosely, and microwave for 4 minutes to soften.

Step 3

Once cooled, place the cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 4

In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower rice with cream cheese and rice vinegar until evenly combined. This will serve as your 'sushi rice.'

Step 5

Thinly slice the salmon, avocado, and cucumber into strips for the fillings.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Arrange a few slices of salmon, avocado, and cucumber horizontally across the middle of the cauliflower rice layer.

Step 9

Using the sushi mat or plastic wrap, gently roll the nori and fillings tightly into a cylinder, sealing the edge with a bit of water if needed.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 11

Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife; wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep it clean.

Step 12

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the sliced rolls for garnish.

Step 13

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