It’s going to avocado week here at RDelicious Kitchen. The California Avocado Commission is the sponsoring a recipe contest through Recipe Redux challenging members to create the perfect summer get-together dish using California Avocados.
Disclosure: By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by the California Avocado Commission and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.
As I was creating my first avocado recipe for the recipe contest, I thought of variation that sneaks in some vegetables. As a (soon to be) RD, I am always looking for ways to sneak in more vegetables into my recipes.

Question: If you were at a party and both the smoked salmon avocado tartlets and the salmon, avocado, cucumber roll ups were being served, which would you go to first?

I love how simple (yet fancy) this looks! I’ve made zucchini roll ups similar to this, but it never even occurred to me to use cucumber. Great idea!!!
I made something very similar last year, and they were a huge hit! I like the avocado addition on these, yum. I’d definitely go for the avocado salmon first.
Love how fresh and tasty these are-such a yummy snack! Love both your recipes, but since I don’t think gluten-free wonton wrappers exist, I would pick these roll ups over the tartlets 🙂
Bring on avocado week! Another easy to make yet delicious looking recipe, Julie!
What type of mandolin to you have? I have been trying to find one but reviews are so mixed it makes me nervous.
yum! just like my favorite sushi roll!
