Cucumber Sushi Rolls with Cream Cheese and Raisins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cucumber Sushi Rolls with Cream Cheese and Raisins.

1. Step 1

   Start by taking your long seedless cucumber and trimming off the ends. Using a peeler, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/8-inch thick. Once you have your strips, cut each one into three equal pieces crosswise, creating bite-sized sections that are perfect for rolling.

2. Step 2

   Now, let’s fill those cucumber slices! Take a piece of cucumber and place about a teaspoon of shredded carrot at the bottom edge. Next, add a teaspoon of softened cream cheese right on top of the carrot. For a touch of sweetness, press 2 or 3 raisins into the cream cheese, allowing their natural sweetness to complement the flavors.

3. Step 3

   It’s time to roll! Starting at the filled end, gently roll the cucumber slice into a sushi roll shape. The cream cheese will help hold everything together. Once rolled, take a fresh chive and tie it around the roll to secure it in place. This not only keeps your sushi intact but adds a lovely touch of color and flavor.

4. Step 4

   Repeat this process with the remaining cucumber slices, carrots, cream cheese, and raisins until you’ve created a delightful platter of mini cucumber sushi rolls. Each bite is a refreshing burst of flavor!
