Equipment

  • Vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife (for garnish)

Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber (approximately 10 inches/25 cm long)
  • 6 ounces canned tuna in water, drained (170g)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (30g)
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (5g)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (1.25g)
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt (1.25g)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (15g)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (5g)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (5g)
  • ¼ optional avocado, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing the cucumber. Wash it thoroughly, and using a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer, cut long, thin strips along the length of the cucumber, creating the wraps. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, garlic powder, and sea salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Stir in the chopped green onions and sesame seeds into the tuna mixture, adding a dash of toasted sesame oil for a nutty flavor.
  • Lay out a cucumber strip and place a spoonful of the spicy tuna mix at one end. Carefully roll the cucumber around the filling, creating a tight roll. Repeat with the remaining cucumber strips and tuna mix.
  • If desired, garnish each roll with a slice of avocado for a creamy texture and additional healthy fats.
  • Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving for a more refreshing experience.

Notes

Ensure the cucumber is firm and not overly ripe to maintain the roll structure.
Adjust the spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of sriracha sauce to suit your taste.
For a complete keto meal, pair these rolls with a side of mixed greens or seaweed salad.
These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
