Ingredients

2-3 large English cucumbers
2 avocados , mashed (150 g)

Pistachio Filling

½ cup shelled pistachios (70 g) *
3 tablespoons onion , minced (30 g)
2 tablespoons mint leaves (5 g)
1 tablespoon lime juice (15 mL)
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Cucumber

Create long, thin strips of cucumber by slicing lengthwise along the cucumber with a mandolin slicer (or a vegetable peeler). Keep even pressure to cut the slices at an even thickness. Aim for 24 strips of cucumber; you’ll need at least 2 large cucumbers for this.

Step 2: Prepare Filling

Add the shelled pistachio, onion, mint, lime juice and salt to a small food processor. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and evenly mixed.

If you don’t have a small food processor, finely mince everything with a knife.
Just before you assemble, mash avocado after removing the pits and skin. I simply use a fork to mash avocado.

Step 3: Assemble and Serve

To assemble the roll ups, take one slice of the cucumber and add about 1 teaspoon mashed avocado and 1-2 teaspoons of the pistachio mixture onto one end.
Pick up the edge where you placed filling and roll the cucumber over the filling. Try to tuck the cucumber around the filling to get the cucumber tightly pressed around the filling.
Continue rolling until you reach the other end of the cucumber. Secure the roll with a toothpick.
Serve immediately.

Notes

*Pistachios can be very expensive. Other nuts or seeds can also work. Sunflower seeds are a great alternative (where I live sunflower seeds are much less expensive).
