Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 sheets nori sheets
- 1 can (5 ounces) canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 1 medium avocado
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 tablespoons paleo mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the tuna filling: In a bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, paleo mayonnaise, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Slice the vegetables: Julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin, matchstick-sized strips. Slice the avocado into thin slices.
Lay a nori sheet on a clean, dry surface or a bamboo sushi mat if available, shiny side down.
Spread 1/4 of the tuna mixture evenly across the lower third of the nori sheet.
Layer a few slices of cucumber, carrot, and avocado on top of the tuna mixture.
Using your hands or the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori sheet tightly over the filling. Roll until the nori seals itself. You may dampen the edge with a little water to help it stick.
Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Using a sharp knife dipped in water, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
Serve immediately with optional paleo-friendly dipping sauces like coconut aminos, if desired.
