Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice-sized grains.
Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Let it cool slightly.
Once cooled, mix the cauliflower rice with the rice vinegar and salt. Stir well to combine and set aside.
Peel and slice the avocado into thin slices.
Slice the cucumber into thin matchstick pieces.
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice over the nori sheet, leaving about an inch at the top uncovered.
Arrange avocado slices, cucumber sticks, and a small amount of seaweed salad in a horizontal line about an inch from the bottom edge of the nori.
Lift the edge of the bamboo mat closest to you and begin to roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight.
Once you reach the uncovered edge of the nori, wet it with a little water to seal the roll.
Slice the roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Sprinkle the sliced rolls with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
