HOW TO MAKE IT


In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Add minced garlic and fresh lime juice. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.


Mix until well combined.


Using a peeler or mandolin, slice the cucumber into equally thin strips.

Place about 12 cucumber strips next to each other, on a flat surface, such as a cutting board.


Spread 4 tbsp. mashed avocado evenly over the slices. Then add slices of turkey and cheese.


Starting at one end, tightly roll all of the cucumber slices into one long "sushi" roll.

Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into individual servings as shown in the photos. Secure with

a toothpick and place on a serving platter.


Repeat with the remaining cucumber strips.


Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
