Ingredients:

• 2 large cucumbers, peeled and sliced into thin, long strips

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cucumbers: Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, slice the cucumbers lengthwise into thin strips. Pat dry with a paper towel.
2. Assemble the Rolls: Lay out a cucumber strip and place a few slices of avocado, carrot, and bell pepper in the center.
3. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll up the cucumber strip around the fillings, creating a tight roll. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
