Quinoa and Avocado Sushi Rolls Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Quinoa and avocado sushi rolls are a healthy twist on traditional sushi rolls. Instead of using white rice, quinoa is used as the base, providing a nutty flavor and added protein. The rolls are filled with creamy avocado slices, crunchy cucumber, and colorful bell peppers. They are then rolled up tightly and sliced into bite-sized pieces. These sushi rolls are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making them a perfect option for a light and nutritious meal or snack.
