Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large English cucumber, washed and ends trimmed
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, sliced thin
  • 4 nori seaweed sheets
  • 1 small carrot, peeled and julienned
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • A small handful fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey (or agave for vegan)
  • 1/2 teaspoon wasabi paste (optional)
  • Pickled ginger, to serve (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the cucumber. Slice lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/8 inch thick. Prepare 8-10 strips.
  2. Slice avocado into thin strips. Peel and julienne carrot. Thinly slice bell pepper. Chop cilantro if using. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or agave), and wasabi paste (if using) until honey dissolves. Add pickled ginger on the side for serving.
  4. Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a sushi rolling mat or parchment paper. Arrange 2-3 cucumber slices to cover the nori from edge to edge, overlapping if needed. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  5. About 1 inch from the bottom edge, layer avocado, carrot, bell pepper, and cilantro. Do not overfill.
  6. Lift the edge of the mat or parchment closest to you and tuck over the fillings, pressing gently. Continue rolling with gentle pressure. Dab a bit of water on the far edge of the nori to seal.
  7. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts. Arrange on a platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with dipping sauce.

Notes

Slice cucumbers thin but sturdy enough to hold fillings. Pat all veggies dry before assembling to prevent soggy rolls. Don’t overfill for easier rolling. For extra crunch, chill cucumber strips before rolling. Use tamari for gluten-free, agave for vegan. Rolls are best served fresh; leftovers keep up to 24 hours in the fridge.
