My Daughter and I are trying to eat more healthy so I thought I would share some pictures on Saturday's of what we've made.
Cucumber Sushi
What you'll need:
2 Large cucumbers
1 Cup Imitation crab or real crab
4 TBSP Salmon Cream Cheese
4 oz package of Lox (Cured Salmon)
1 Large Avocado
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
What to do:
Use a large vegetable peeler to make long cucumber slices. Depending on how large your cucumbers are you will need 12-16 slices.
Lay the cucumber slices down on a flat surface, overlapping them a bit. We used 6 slices per roll. So we made 2 rolls and cut them into pieces. Starting at the end closest to you, add a thin layer of the salmon cream cheese and spread it all over the cucumber slices. Next lay down a thin layer of Lox just at the end closest to you. Next add a bit of the imitation crab meat or real crab meat, depending on what you like. Add a layer of thinly sliced avocado and sprinkle the seasonings on top. Next you are going to grab the end of the cucumber slices closest to you and fold them away from you, over the mixture. Then carefully roll it into a log, trying to keep it tight as you roll. Make sure it is seam side down when you cut this into "sushi" pieces.
6 pieces of this had 12 carbs and about 300 calories.
I don't like traditional sushi but this came out really good.
They look lovely and would be rather tasty, Mary.
ReplyDeleteThey were so good.
DeleteThat is an interesting way to do it. I like sushi but I will only eat it with cooked seafood. Raw sounds disgusting and not very safe.
ReplyDeleteI don't like sushi at all.
DeleteI have never eaten sushi!
ReplyDeleteI've tried it and don't like it.
DeleteThey look so good.

DeleteI am back. I am sorry. Been busy for the last two weeks. Cucumber is absolutely tremendous ingredients each time we cook at my home espeically for main dishes
ReplyDeleteNot a problem. That happens. I love cucumbers.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of sushi, I do love fish, just cooked fish. Have a great day and happy week ahead.
Yes, cooked fish is the way to go for me too.
DeleteWhat a brilliant idea! We love sushi. There is quite an Asian community in Canada.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I liked it this way.
DeleteI'm a huge sushi fan, so this is perfect for me!

DeleteLooks great!!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI don't eat seafood, but I know my daughter would love this. She's always buying crab meat for her lunches.
ReplyDeleteI hope she tries it.
DeleteThat looks good :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI never heard of using cucumber like this, what a fun way to have it look like sushi. I like cucumber, but not crab, but I am sure this would work different fillings too.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun and good.
DeleteI have a confession, I hate fish, especially salmon. It is so common here, like we get it every week . BUT, they look so fun!
ReplyDeleteI love fish but I know others who don't like it too.
DeleteI don’t eat raw sushi either. This was a creative idea, Mary!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
