Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1 large carrot peeled
  • 1/4 bunch cilantro roughly chopped
  • 4 oz. crab meat pressed dry
  • 3 T. fat-free cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • 1-2 T. chili garlic sauce or sriracha
  • sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Vegetable Prep

  • Use the thinnest setting on a mandoline to create long ribbons of cucumber. You want roughly a dozen strips.
  • Slice avocado thinly into 12 pieces.
  • Use a peeler to create thin strips of carrots.

Assembly

  • Mix crab with 2 T. cream cheese in a small bowl.
  • Lay a cucumber slice flat on a cutting board. Layer avocado slice, carrots, cilantro, and about 1 T. crab mix on one end. Put a small dab of cream cheese on the other end.
  • Roll the cucumber strip up tightly, sealing with cream cheese, and place seam-down on a plate. Repeat with remaining cucumber strips.
  • Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, to help the cream cheese harden and keep the rolls tight.
  • While rolls are chilling, mix mayonnaise and chili garlic sauce for dipping.
  • Optionally sprinkle rollups with sesame seeds. Serve chilled with dipping sauce.
