How to Make Avocado Sushi Salad

1. Rinse 1 cup sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice, 1 ¾ cups water, and ½ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 17 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
3. While the rice simmers, prepare the rice seasoning: In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Gently fold the cooled rice seasoning into the cooked rice. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely to room temperature.
5. Gently fold in 1 ripe avocado, diced, and ½ cup shredded carrot into the cooled rice.
6. If using rice molds, spoon the rice mixture evenly into four 8-ounce ramekins or rice molds, pressing gently to compact.
7. If using lettuce, arrange fresh spinach leaves on serving plates.
8. Carefully invert the rice salads onto the prepared plates or spinach.
9. Garnish as desired and serve immediately.
