Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 firm cucumber (English or seedless), thinly sliced lengthwise into ribbons
  • 1 ripe but firm avocado, peeled and sliced into slim strips
  • 1 can (about 5 oz) high-quality tuna packed in water, drained
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh dill or cilantro, chopped (for flavor and garnish)
  • Sriracha or wasabi mayo (for a spicy kick)
  • Shredded carrots or thin bell pepper strips (for extra crunch)
  • Fresh basil or mint leaves (for herb infusion)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cucumber ribbons: Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, thinly slice the cucumber lengthwise into uniform ribbons ensuring they are thin enough to roll gently without breaking.
  2. Prepare the tuna filling: Drain the canned tuna thoroughly to remove excess moisture. In a bowl, combine the tuna with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper, and optional chopped herbs. Mix gently to combine without overworking the fish.
  3. Slice the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel off the skin carefully, then slice it into slim strips suitable for filling the cucumber rolls.
  4. Assemble the rolls: Lay one cucumber ribbon flat on a clean surface. Place a small amount of the tuna mixture and an avocado strip along one edge. Roll the cucumber carefully over the filling to enclose it. Repeat with the remaining cucumber ribbons and filling.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Arrange the rolls on a serving plate. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs, a drizzle of lemon juice, sesame seeds, or a light soy-based sauce. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

  • Pick firm cucumbers to ensure the rolls hold their shape and stay crisp.
  • Drain tuna thoroughly to prevent excess moisture making the rolls soggy.
  • Use ripe but firm avocado to achieve smooth slices without mushiness.
  • Chill cucumber and tuna beforehand to make rolling easier and enhance freshness.
  • Handle cucumber ribbons gently to avoid tearing during rolling.
