Recipe Notes
- You could add some organic sliced tofu or slices of meat (your choice!).
- Store the cucumber rollups in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Here's how to make it:
- Start by using a mandolin or vegetable peeler to slice long-wise, a long strip of cucumber about 1/4-inch thick and lay flat on a plate or tray. Do this with all of the cucumbers, leaving the hard/thick skin ends out. Once you have all the cucumber strips, pat them on both sides with a paper towel to drain excess moisture.
- On top of each cucumber strip, lay out the mashed avocado or guacamole in a thin layer as the base. Now start laying the other toppings in an even layer over the avocado, leaving the protein for last.
- Once the layers are done, start slowly rolling the cucumber up with the filling and place a toothpick in the entire roll up to hold it together.
- Place on a plate with your dipping sauce of choice on the side and enjoy!
