Hummus “Sushi” Roll Ups are a fun and healthy twist on a classic. Spread creamy hummus on cucumber slices, then pile on your favorite veggies and a sprinkle of protein. They're a light and refreshing appetizer, perfect for packing in the nutrients and satisfying your sushi cravings in a creative and unexpected way.
Start out by preparing your cucumber. If you use an English cucumber (the one in plastic wrap), you can skip the first step.
1/2 cucumber
First, seed your cucumber. Julienne it into nice, even strips.
If you are not using an English cucumber, salt the cucumber and place it on a paper towel to drain. You want to get out as much water as possible, so let them sit for a half hour or so.
Halve your tomato and seed it, as well. Lightly salt it and turn it upside down on a cookie sheet for a half hour so it can also dry out a little bit.
1 roma tomato, Salt
Lay your wrap on a flat surface, and spread a layer of hummus on it. Leave about a half inch from one of the long edges clean.
2 wraps, 1/4 cup hummus
Add slices of avocado atop the hummus, then lay on the cucumber and tomatoes in a thin layer. Place the spinach leaves atop the other layers.
3/4 avocado, 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
Roll up your wrap starting with the long end. It should be a long, skinny wrap instead of a shorter, fatter one.
Use a serrated knife to slice your roll into pieces.
Set the rolls on a plate on their sides. Sprinkle with the grated carrot and serve immediately.
