BLAST Sushi (bacon, lettuce, avocado & sundried tomatoes)

We love making sushi at home, but I’m always a little concerned about taking it in a cooler, in case the temperature fluctuates more than that delicate crab meat will allow. I don’t know about you, but food poisoning on a road trip is something I try hard to avoid! So I came up with this little twist on the BLT to keep everything contained in a nice little wrap and still get my sushi-ish fix while on the road.

BLAST Sushi (bacon, lettuce, avocado & sundried tomatoes)

Per Sushi Roll/Log
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 4 slices avocado
  • 1 large romaine lettuce leaf
  • 1-2 TBSP julienne-cut sundried tomatoes
  • 1 sheet nori
Plus
  • Bamboo rolling mat to properly roll your sushi
  • Chopped black olives for garnish
Make what you need

Serving Day:
  1. Cook the bacon until done but not too crisp. Let cool.
  2. When the bacon is cool, slice it lengthwise into thin strips.
  3. Slice the romaine leaf in half, remove the center rib, and discard it.
  4. On the edge (closest to you) of the nori, place a half leaf of lettuce, a slice of bacon, a slice of avocado, some tomatoes, and the other half leaf of lettuce on top to cushion the bacon from poking through the nori. Roll tightly.
  5. Slice the roll with a very sharp knife and place in an airtight container. Refrigerate until needed.
  6. To enjoy, dip the sushi pieces in Paleo Ranch Dressing (recipe follows) and sprinkle a few chopped black olives on top.
Paleo Ranch Dressing
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ¼-1/3 cup coconut milk (less for a thicker dressing, more for a thinner dressing)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ tsp finely minced garlic (about half a clove)
  • 2 TBSP chopped fresh dill
  • 3 TBSP chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 TBSP chopped fresh chives
Makes 1 1/4 cups

Serving Day:
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients. Try to make it the day before for best flavor, but a minimum of 1 hour in advance.
  2. To serve, dip the sushi rolls in the ranch dressing, and enjoy the heck out of it!
