note, it is easier to work with a straight, rather than curved, cucumber
1 avocado
small bunch of basil leaves
1 clove garlic
2 tsp lime juice
ΒΌ tsp salt
fresh ground pepper, to taste
paprika for garnish
cayenne pepper (optional)
This recipe uses a homemade filling, but you can substitute for pre-made, vinegar-free guacamole! Our favorites are Sabra or Costco's Kirkland brand guacamole.
Directions
combine avocado, basil, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy
if you are combining by hand, finely mince the basil leaves and garlic before combining with the other ingredients and mix with a fork until smooth and creamy
set mixture aside
cut off the ends of the cucumber
using a mandolin or vegetable peeler, cut cucumber lengthwise into thin strips
spread a thin layer of the avocado mixture on a cucumber slice
make sure to spread the avocado mixture to the ends of the cucumber so the ends of the rolls will stick together
roll the cucumber slice and place on a plate
repeat with all the cucumber slices
sprinkle with paprika and/or cayenne pepper
serve right away
enjoy!
