Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the cucumber thoroughly under cold water.
- Using a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips. Aim for the slices to be pliable but not too thin that they tear easily.
- Spread the cream cheese evenly on each cucumber slice.
- Cut the smoked salmon into thin strips.
- Place a strip of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese coated cucumber slice.
- Starting from one end, carefully roll the cucumber slice with the filling inside until you reach the other end. Secure the roll with a toothpick if necessary.
- Arrange your cucumber sushi rolls on a serving plate.
- Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped chives, or dill for extra flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately while fresh.
Tips:
- Use a mandolin slicer to get thin, even slices of cucumber, which will make rolling easier.
- Pat the cucumber slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the sushi hold together better.
- Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier spreading.
- Feel free to add other ingredients like avocado or sprouts for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Use plastic wrap to help roll the cucumber sushi tightly if needed.
