Naked cali rolls

Naked California rolls

These beauties are an app I came up with for a dinner party (did a Riesling tasting and dinner that included 3 kinds of Riesling (from dry to sweet). We had chicken Riesling and butterscotch/toffee sundaes also). I called these apps naked cali rolls because the ingredients are similar to those found in California rolls but these have no rice (that's the naked part). They came out really tasty and pretty. The best part, they are super easy to make!

Naked Cali Rolls


1 seedless cucumber cut into slices


1 small tub of jumbo lump crab meat (could prob use backfin or claw if you wanted, but thought the lumps were really pretty!)


1 avocado mashed w/ salt and lemon (to keep it from turning brown)


2tbl wasabi mayo (made my own w/ Hellman's mayo and wasabi paste)


*tip* put the avocado and wasabi mayo into plastic baggies so that you can "pipe"them onto the cucumbers. You could also use scallops or shrimp if you cant get crab. Keep everything really cold in the fridge until the guests arrive. I served this with a really fruity (not very sweet) Riesling and it was delish!
