How to Make Melon And Jicama Sushi

  1. Prepare the melon: Wash and thoroughly dry a cantaloupe or honeydew melon. Using a vegetable peeler or sharp knife, create long, thin strips of melon, about 1/8 inch thick. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the jicama: Peel and thinly slice a jicama into strips similar in size to the melon strips.
  3. Prepare the avocado: Wash, pit, and thinly slice one avocado.
  4. Assemble the sushi: Lay a melon strip on a flat surface. Arrange a few jicama strips, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of cilantro on top of the melon. Gently roll the melon strip, tucking in the filling.
  5. Prepare the lime dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  6. Serve: Drizzle the lime dressing over the finished Melon & Jicama Sushi rolls and garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges. Serve immediately for best results.
