Description

A refreshing, low-carb twist on traditional sushi, this Cucumber Sushi Keto Recipe is perfect for a healthy, keto-friendly snack or light meal. Crisp cucumber “rolls” filled with creamy avocado, smoked salmon, and fresh vegetables deliver flavor without the carbs. Ideal for quick prep, meal prep, or entertaining guests.

Ingredients
    For the Cucumber Rolls:
  • 2 large cucumbers (sliced lengthwise into thin ribbons)
  • 1 avocado (ripe, sliced into thin strips)
  • 100 g smoked salmon
  • 1 small carrot (julienned)
  • 1 small red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Fresh herbs (optional, e.g., dill or chives)
    • For the Dipping Sauce (Optional):
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium, gluten-free optional)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 0.5 tsp sesame oil
  • 0.25 tsp chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
    Prepare the Cucumber Base
  1. 1
    Wash the cucumbers and slice them lengthwise into thin ribbons using a mandoline or vegetable peeler. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. These cucumber slices will act as the “nori” for your rolls.
    2. Prepare the Filling
  2. 2
    Slice the avocado, carrot, red bell pepper, and smoked salmon into thin strips. If using cream cheese, soften it slightly and spread a thin layer on each cucumber strip for extra flavor and adhesion.
    3. Assemble the Rolls
  3. 3
    Lay a cucumber ribbon flat on a clean surface. Place a few strips of avocado, carrot, bell pepper, and salmon on one end of the ribbon. Carefully roll the cucumber over the filling, tucking the ends in gently. Repeat with remaining cucumber slices and fillings.
    4. Garnish and Serve
  4. 4
    Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each roll and add fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately with dipping sauce or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Note

For extra flavor, lightly sprinkle the cucumber slices with salt and let sit for 5 minutes to remove excess water.

Variations: Replace smoked salmon with cooked shrimp, crab sticks, or grilled chicken for different keto-friendly fillings.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours to maintain freshness and cucumber crispness.
