SuSheep Sushi Rolls:
Servings: 2-4 rolls each
Ingredients:
- 2 slices 100% whole wheat bread, crusts removed
- 1/4 cup hummus
- 1 medium carrot, cut into 2-inch matchsticks
- 1 stalk celery, cut into 2-inch matchsticks
- 1/4 cucumber, cut into 2-inch matchsticks
- Nori sheets (seaweed) for decoration (optional)
- Soy sauce, for serving

- Once you have rolled both slices of bread into cylindrical rolls, press lightly along the seam to ensure the rolls stay intact.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each roll into four pieces. These pieces will resemble adorable SuSheep sushi rolls!
- Optional: For an added touch, you can use small cutouts of nori sheets to create eyes, a nose, and a mouth on each SuSheep roll, making them look even more like cute little sheep.
- Arrange the SuSheep sushi rolls on a plate and serve with soy sauce for dipping. If you like a bit of heat, you can also serve them with pickled ginger and wasabi on the side.
