Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the head of cauliflower, then cut into florets.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they reach a rice-like consistency.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 3-5 minutes until tender. Let it cool slightly.
Once cooled, place the cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a bowl, combine the cauliflower rice with cream cheese, rice vinegar, and salt. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
Peel the avocado, remove the pit, and slice it into thin strips. Peel the cucumber and cut into thin julienne strips.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down. Spread a quarter of the cauliflower mixture evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of the nori sheet at the top edge.
Place a few slices of avocado and cucumber across the center of the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the fillings, pressing gently but firmly to secure the roll. Dampen the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 8 pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, if desired.
