Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large cucumber
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 small carrot, julienned (optional)
  • 1/4 red bell pepper, julienned (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or chives, finely chopped
  • 1 sheet nori, cut into thin strips (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • Pinch chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cucumber: Wash and dry the cucumber. Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice the cucumber lengthwise into very thin strips. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Prepare the avocado: Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cut the flesh into thin strips.
  3. Assemble the rolls: Lay one cucumber strip flat on a clean surface. Place a few strips of avocado, carrot, and red bell pepper (if using) at one end of the strip.
  4. Season the filling: Sprinkle with a pinch of sesame seeds and fresh herbs.
  5. Roll and secure: Carefully roll the cucumber strip around the filling to form a tight roll. Secure with a nori strip or toothpick if needed.
  6. Complete all rolls: Repeat with remaining ingredients to make approximately 8 rolls.
  7. Make the dipping sauce: Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, maple syrup (or honey), and chili flakes in a small bowl.
  8. Serve: Serve the rolls immediately with the dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the fillings with other vegetables.
  • For an extra flavor, add a dash of lime juice to the avocado.
  • These rolls are best served fresh.
