Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna in water
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Carrot
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Whole30 compliant mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Add the avocado to the bowl with the tuna.
Using a fork, mash the avocado into the tuna, breaking up the tuna chunks until well combined.
Add the Whole30 compliant mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the tuna mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Peel the carrot and use a julienne peeler or sharp knife to cut it into thin strips. Do the same with the cucumber, leaving the skin on for added texture and color.
Lay a sheet of nori on a clean, dry surface or bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
Spread a quarter of the tuna mixture evenly across the bottom third of the nori sheet.
Place a few strips of carrot and cucumber on top of the tuna mixture.
Starting from the bottom edge, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently but firmly to create a tight roll. Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and filling.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 pieces.
Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the top of each roll before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Classic Tuna Rolls as a delicious, healthy meal.
