What you will need
This recipe uses 7 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 whole large English cucumbers
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill or cilantro, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 whole red bell pepper, finely julienned
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cucumber Ribbons
Use a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer to cut the English cucumbers lengthwise into long, thin, flexible ribbons. Pat the ribbons dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2: Make the Avocado Filling
Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash with lime juice, minced garlic, chopped dill or cilantro, and salt until creamy with a bit of texture remaining.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls
Lay a cucumber ribbon flat on a clean surface. Spread one tablespoon of avocado filling at one short end of the ribbon. Place a few strips of red bell pepper on top of the filling.
Step 4: Roll and Secure
Gently roll the cucumber ribbon around the filling from one end to the other. Secure with a toothpick if needed to hold the roll together during serving.
Step 5: Plate and Serve
Arrange the cucumber avocado rolls on a serving platter. Serve immediately for the freshest texture or refrigerate for up to one hour before serving.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- fresh dill → fresh mint for a cooling and different herb flavor
- red bell pepper → julienned carrots or mango for a sweet and colorful filling
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Cutting cucumber ribbons too thick which makes them impossible to roll without breaking
- Overfilling each roll which causes the filling to spill out during rolling
