Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 2 cans Canned tuna in water (drained)
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Whole30-compliant mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a medium mixing bowl.
Add Whole30-compliant mayonnaise, lemon juice, and sea salt to the tuna. Mix well using a fork, breaking apart any large chunks.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin strips.
Peel the cucumber and carrot, then slice both into long thin matchsticks for easy rolling.
Lay one nori sheet on a flat, dry surface with the shiny side facing down.
Spread a thin layer of the tuna mixture across the bottom third of the nori sheet, leaving a small border at the edges.
Add a layer of avocado slices over the tuna, then top with cucumber and carrot matchsticks.
Carefully roll the nori sheet starting from the bottom edge, using light pressure to form a tight roll. Wet the edge of the nori with a little water to seal it shut.
Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients to create 4 rolls.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp towel between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Sprinkle with black sesame seeds for garnish, if desired, and serve immediately.
