Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Large cucumber
- 1 whole Ripe avocado
- 4 whole Nori sheets
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Black sesame seeds
Instructions
Cut the cucumber into thin strips, about 4 inches long, discarding the seeds to prevent excess moisture.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice into thin, lengthwise pieces.
Drizzle the avocado slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and sprinkle with sea salt.
Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a clean, dry surface.
Arrange a few strips of cucumber and a few slices of avocado along the bottom third of the nori sheet.
Sprinkle a few black sesame seeds on top of the avocado and cucumber for added texture and flavor.
Roll the nori sheet tightly around the vegetables, starting from the bottom edge, pressing firmly but gently as you roll.
Seal the roll by slightly moistening the top edge of the nori with a bit of water and pressing to adhere.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife clean between cuts to ensure smooth slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, savory flavors.
