3 medium cucumbers
½ cup guacamole or mashed avocado
¼ cup parsley or cilantro, or other fresh herb of choice
½ cup shredded carrots
½ cup shredded red cabbage
Coconut aminos or tahini for dipping
Optional protein: Organic sliced tofu or slices of meat of choice
Toothpicks
Preparation:
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!
