Now, let’s talk kitchen tools. You’ll need a sharp knife, cutting board, large mixing bowl, rice cooker (or pot), and a sushi mat for rolling. Make sure you have everything ready before you start prepping your ingredients.

• sharp knife
• cutting board
• large mixing bowl
• rice cooker

Start by cooking the sushi rice according to the package instructions. While the rice is cooking, prepare your veggies. Slice the cucumbers, carrots, avocado, and radishes into thin strips. Cut the nori seaweed sheets into small pieces.

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey to make the dressing. Once the rice is cooked, let it cool slightly before transferring it to a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced veggies, nori seaweed, and pickled ginger to the bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.

Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top for that extra nutty flavor. If you’re feeling adventurous, add some crispy tempura flakes for a delicious crunch. Serve the Summer Sushi Salad chilled and enjoy the refreshing flavors of summer!
