Another easy and healthy raw snack.
I love cucumber and I’ve come up with a myriad of ways to enjoy it from the simplest to the fanciest.
These tasty appetizers are a take on the classic Japanese cucumber maki but without rice and with sesame seed “breading” in lieu of nori sheets.
The richness of the cashew cheese balances out nicely the lightness of the cucumber, and the addition of the calcium-rich black sesame seeds is an unexpected flavor combo that’s actually delish.
This treat is 100% raw, vegan, dairy free and gluten free.

- Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Ndoema, I’m so excited to try these Cucumber Rolls! At first the recipe appears to be for roll-up wraps, but how clever of you to hollow out and fill them. Love the simplicity. Thanks so much!
Hi Sharon, It’s always so lovely to be hearing form you. And yes, I looove easy 😉 Make sure you give the rolls a chance to harden up a bit in the fridge so they hold together nicely when ready to serve. Enjoy! xo
