Zutaten

• 1 ripe avocado, pitted
• 2 Tbsp. plain hummus
• 1 garlic clove, pressed
• 2 tsp. fresh lime juice

• 6-8 slices honey deli ham

Zubereitung

1. 1

   --- Avocado-Hummus Spread ---

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mash the avocado flesh with a fork. To the avocado, add hummus, garlic, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix until well blended.

3. 3

   --- Roll-Ups ---

4. 4

   With a mandoline slicer*, slice the cucumber into thin strips. I was able to get about 10 strips out of one medium size cucumber. The first couple or so strips were too small to use so I tossed those for a salad. You may have a little less or more strips depending on the size of the cucumber.

5. 5

   Place 5 cucumber strips next to each other, on a paper-lined flat surface, such as a cutting board, and using a clean paper towel, blot some of the moisture on top.

6. 6

   Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the avocado hummus evenly over the slices. Then add 3-4 slices of ham, 3 slices of provolone cheese, a light layer of cilantro leaves, and a light layer of baby spinach.

7. 7

   Starting at one end, tightly roll all of the cucumber slices into one long “sushi” roll.

8. 8

   Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into individual servings. Secure with a toothpick and place on a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining cucumber strips.

9. 9

   These are best when served the same day. I was able to get about 10 roll-ups out of one cucumber.
