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: 

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Place on a plate with your dipping sauce of choice on the side and enjoy!
