What You'll Need
Directions
- Using a mandolin or vegetable peeler, carefully slice cucumber into long strips about 1/8 inch thick. Set cucumber strips aside.
- Chop avocados, removing peels and pits. Place in a medium bowl and mash very well with a fork. Stir in seasonings, onion, and lime juice.
- Lay one cucumber strip flat. Spread a thin layer of avocado mixture on top, leaving a small border all the way around, as the avocado will spread out as the cucumber is rolled. Carefully roll the cucumber up, lightly pressing it together at the end to glue it in place. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Serve immediately.
