Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 4 sheets Nori Sheets
• 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Coconut Aminos
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

Mix the cooled cauliflower rice with rice vinegar and salt. Stir well until combined.

Step 4

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin strips.

Step 5

Peel the cucumber and cut it into julienne strips, about the same length as the avocado slices.

Step 6

Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean surface.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the nori sheet, leaving a small border on the top edge.

Step 8

Align avocado and cucumber strips horizontally across the middle of the cauliflower rice layer.

Step 9

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the fillings, pressing gently but firmly to shape the roll.

Step 10

Seal the edges with a little water on your fingers, and press to secure the roll.

Step 11

Repeat the process with remaining ingredients and nori sheets.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces, wetting the blade with water between cuts to prevent sticking.

Step 13

Serve the Paleo Avocado Maki with coconut aminos on the side for dipping.
