Fresh and vibrant Cucumber Tuna Avocado Salad Rolls combine rare-seared fresh tuna with crisp cucumber strips, creamy avocado, and a hint of jalapeño for a light, flavorful appetizer or main course. These quick and easy rolls are perfect for a nutritious lunch or elegant starter.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Fish

  • 2 tuna steaks (6 to 7 ounces / 180-200g each), boneless, skinless
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Vegetables & Garnish

  • 2 seedless English cucumbers, outer peel removed and thinly peeled lengthwise into wide strips
  • 2 ripe avocados, cut in half, seed and skins removed
  • Microgreens (for garnish)
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced very thinly
  • 1 lime, cut in half (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook Tuna: Drizzle half of the olive oil over one side of the tuna steaks, then sprinkle half the salt and pepper. Flip and repeat on the other side. Heat a skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Place the tuna steak in the skillet and sear on all sides for 45 seconds to keep the inside rare (about 118°F). Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before slicing.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin, slice the cucumbers lengthwise into long thin strips. Lay them on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt to draw out excess water. Slice the avocado into very thin ¼-inch thick slices lengthwise, with the rounded side face-up.
  3. Assemble Rolls: Once the tuna is cooled, cut it into thin ¼-inch thick squares approximately 1 inch by 1 inch. Place a cucumber strip in front of you (stack two if needed for length). Arrange a single layer of tuna squares along one end of the cucumber strip, leaving at least half the strip length bare to facilitate rolling. Add a layer of avocado slices, a thin layer of microgreens, and a single slice of jalapeño on top. Starting at the tuna end, carefully roll to form a bite-sized roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  4. Serve: Arrange the rolls on a plate and serve with lime wedges to squeeze fresh lime juice over each roll for a bright, tangy finish.

Notes

  • Use sushi-grade fresh tuna for best flavor and safety when consuming rare.
  • When slicing cucumbers, removing excess moisture helps keep the rolls from becoming soggy.
  • Adjust jalapeño quantity for desired spice level or omit if sensitive to heat.
  • The rolls can be served as sushi rolls, on cucumber coins, or as a salad bowl depending on your presentation preference.
  • Allow tuna to cool fully before slicing to maintain clean cuts and texture.
