Ingredients

• 4 sheets Nori sheets (seaweed)
• 200 grams Canned tuna (packed in olive oil, drained)
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped parsley, fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined and set aside.

Step 2

2. Slice the vegetables: Julienne the cucumber into thin, matchstick-like strips. Halve the cherry tomatoes and scoop out their seeds, then dice them into small pieces. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin strips.

Step 3

3. Set up your sushi station: Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi rolling mat, shiny side down.

Step 4

4. Assemble the sushi roll: Spread a quarter of the tuna mixture evenly across the bottom third of the nori sheet (closest to you). Arrange a few slices of avocado, cucumber, and diced cherry tomatoes on top of the tuna mixture.

Step 5

5. Roll the sushi: Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori sheet away from you, tightly enclosing the filling. Dab a bit of water on the far edge of the nori to seal the roll.

Step 6

6. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to create four sushi rolls in total.

Step 7

7. Slice and serve: Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into six even pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean edges. Arrange on a platter and enjoy!
