Nori Carrot Rolls
Nori Carrot Rolls
Ingredients:
8 nori sheets
2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
1 cucumber, cut into matchsticks
1 mango, pitted, peeled, and cut into matchsticks
2 cups baby spinach
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the wasabi powder and 2 teaspoons of cold water. Stir into a paste.
To make the sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the avocados, wasabi paste, lemon juice,
garlic, and salt. Blend or process until almost smooth. With the machine running, add the oil in a slow,
steady stream, blending until the dressing is thick. Pour the dressing into a bowl.
To make the rolls: Lay a nori sheet, rough side up, on a cutting board. Spread 2 tablespoons of the
avocado sauce onto the bottom half of the sheet. At the bottom edge of the sheet, arrange one-eighth
of the carrots, cucumber, mango, and spinach. Fold the nori over the filling, and roll away from you as
tightly as possible. Moisten the top edge of the sheet with a little water to seal the roll. Slice each roll
into 8 pieces to serve. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

salads and dressings
Salads are one of the first things I developed when creating the Healthy
You Diet recipes. I wanted something more satisfying than just a pile of
greens topped with a bland dressing. By adding a lean protein—some
grilled fish or chicken—and a scoop of beans or quinoa, I was able to turn
boring salads into a meal with varied tastes and textures. It’s difficult to
pick a favorite, but my go-to salads are Three-Bean Salad, Grilled Salmon
and Citrus Salad, and Red Quinoa Salad with Black Beans and Avocado.
Chickpea Salad with Lemon and Mint
My mom introduced me to chickpeas when I was a little girl by using plenty of them in every
salad she made. Today, I’m always looking for new ways to use them in my own healthy
cooking, whether in side salads or main course dishes. Since I always have chick-peas, bell
peppers, cucumbers, and scallions on hand, this combination has become a favorite. Grilled
shrimp, chicken, or salmon turns this into the perfect summer supper.
