Ingredients

• 2 medium Fresh cucumber
• 1 can (5 ounces) Canned tuna (packed in water)
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (for dipping, optional)
• 0.5 Avocado
• 1 stalk Green onion (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers lengthwise into thin, flat strips. These will serve as the sushi 'wrapper.' Set aside.

Step 2

Open the can of tuna and drain it completely. Transfer the tuna to a medium bowl and use a fork to break it into smaller pieces.

Step 3

Add the cream cheese and mayonnaise to the bowl with the tuna. Mix well until you achieve a creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 4

Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips.

Step 5

Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a clean working surface. Place 4–5 cucumber slices side by side, slightly overlapping, to form a rectangular sheet.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of the tuna mixture evenly across the lower third of the cucumber sheet. Lay a few avocado slices on top of the tuna mixture for added creaminess.

Step 7

Using the plastic wrap as a guide, gently roll the cucumber sheet upward into a tight roll. Press firmly to ensure it holds its shape, but be careful not to tear the cucumber.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining cucumber slices and filling to make additional rolls.

Step 9

Carefully slice each cucumber roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Clean the knife blade with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 10

Arrange the sushi rolls on a plate and garnish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately with soy sauce or tamari on the side for dipping, if preferred.
