Instructions

Step 1

* Begin by trimming the edges of the cucumbers and using a vegetable peeler to create long strips, peeling until you reach the seeds. Repeat the process on the other side of the cucumbers.

Step 2

* Thoroughly pat dry the cucumber strips using paper towels, ensuring they are as dry as possible. Set them aside while preparing the ricotta filling.

Step 3

* In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lime zest, fresh thyme leaves, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set the filling aside.

Step 4

* Lay a piece of cling film on a flat surface and create a "basket pattern" by assembling the cucumber strips on it. Pat them dry again to remove any excess moisture.

Step 5

* Spread half of the ricotta filling evenly on top of the cucumber sheet, leaving about a 1-inch space empty on one side.

Step 6

* Place half of the smoked salmon over the ricotta-covered part of the cucumber sheet.

Step 7

* Add half of the thinly sliced avocado on top of the smoked salmon.

Step 8

* Carefully roll the cucumber sheet as tightly as possible, using the cling film to help shape it into a neat roll. Cover the roll with the cling film and refrigerate for about 20 minutes to set.

Step 9

* Repeat the entire process with the second cucumber.

Step 10

* Once the rolls have chilled and set, remove the cling film and slice each roll into 6 equal pieces. You can trim the edges for a cleaner presentation if desired.
