Makes 2 servings.

Ingredients

Watermelon cut into long strips or matchsticks (we estimate equivalent of 2 cups, diced)
1 English cucumber cut into skewer shapes or strips
1 avocado cut into strips or matchsticks
1 ½ cups cooked sushi rice
1 sheet of nori, per desired roll
Soy sauce, black sesame seeds, ginger and wasabi for serving (optional)

Instructions

Wet your finger tips (to keep rice and nori from sticking to them) and sprinkle ¼ to ½ cups of rice evenly over the nori sheet leaving a 1-inch wide strip down the length of nori without rice.
Press down on the rice to pack.
Place the watermelon, cucumber and avocado in a compact line (on top of the rice) down the edge of the long side of the nori, on the opposite side from the long side without the rice.
Starting with the side of the nori that has watermelon, cucumber and avocado, roll over the nori to enclose and seal the roll forming a cylinder.
Using a sharp, serrated knife cut the cylinder into 1-inch thick slices simulating the look of sushi. Arrange on a platter and serve.
