What’s Inside
- Cucumber (2 large): Crisp, refreshing, and hydrating, cucumbers are low in calories and high in fiber, perfect for a light snack.
- Canned tuna in water (1 can, drained): A lean source of protein, tuna helps build muscle and support metabolism without excess calories or fat.
- Avocado (1 ripe): Packed with healthy fats and fiber, avocado provides a creamy texture and helps keep you feeling full longer.
- Lemon juice (1 tbsp): Adds a zesty, refreshing kick that enhances the flavor and aids digestion.
- Olive oil (1 tsp): A heart-healthy fat that helps bring all the ingredients together and adds richness to the rolls.
- Salt & pepper (to taste): For seasoning and bringing out the natural flavors of the ingredients.
How to Make It
-
Prep the Cucumber:
Slice the cucumbers lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer. You can discard the seeds to avoid extra moisture, then lay the cucumber strips flat on a cutting board.
2. Prepare the Tuna Mixture:
In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, mashed avocado, a squeeze of lemon juice, and olive oil. Stir until everything is well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
Take each cucumber strip and place a spoonful of the tuna-avocado mixture at the end. Roll it up tightly, securing the filling inside. You can use a toothpick to hold it together if needed and experiment with toppings.
4. Chill and Serve:
For extra freshness, chill the rolls in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. This helps the rolls stay intact and gives them a refreshing coolness.
