Quick Cucumber Roll-Ups

April 11, 2024

These vegan cucumber roll-ups are a good way to help use up the abundance of cucumbers in my garden. Cucumbers are one of the few things out there doing well this summer.
I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, but I try to eat a number of vegan meals each week. I do not believe that we should be eating animal products at every meal. New vegetarians often struggle with this and substitute loads of cheese and other dairy for the meat they've given up. I think that's simply because they don't know what else to do. Recipes like this one are a good place to start.
These make a quick, light, yet filling meal that doesn't heat up the kitchen, nor weigh down your body. They are loaded with nutrients and since much of it is raw, also with enzymes. I used my homemade hummus, found Here, but you can use any you like.

Cucumber Roll-Ups
 
1-2 cucumbers
hummus
1 avacado
1 tomato
4 fresh basil leaves
sea salt and black pepper
 
Slice cucumber lengthwise, into very thin slices.
Spread with hummus and sprinkle with chopped avacado. Roll up.
To make raw tomato sauce:
In blender puree 3/4 of one tomato, the basil, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Dice the remaining 1/4 tomato and add to puree. Drizzle over roll-ups.
