california-grape-sushi-rolls

DIRECTIONS

Spread 1/3 cup rice evenly onto each nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch empty space at the far end of the sheet. Toward the center of each sheet, line up the following ingredients, without overlapping: 3 heaping tablespoons grape halves, 2 slices avocado, 6 cucumber matchsticks, and 2 heaping tablespoons crab.

Using the nori to hold it together, roll everything up tightly. Cut each roll into 8 pieces. Serve as-is or with the optional toppings.

1 (8-ounce) container fresh crab claw meat

Notes

Recipe created by Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, CSSD, LDN, for the California Table Grape Commission

Recipe Notes: 1. Claw crab meat is more flavorful and less expensive than lump crab. 2. Use pre-cooked frozen rice to save time. It is sold near the frozen vegetables in most grocery stores. 3. Nori seaweed sheets are sold in the Asian section of most grocery stores. 4. For the tightest roll, use a sushi mat.
