As simple as it might sound, this roll is actually my favorite roll out of all the rolls I have made thus far!
(It beat out the Crunchy Shrimp Roll [1], which is my most requested roll by those for whom I make sushi!)
The tart tuna salad goes absolutely wonderfully with the juicy crunch of the lettuce and the sweet/salty taste of the sumeshi. Believe me, it is heavenly! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. 🙂 I must have eaten 3 or 4 rolls of this… 😀
UPDATE: Check out the Spicy Tuna Salad Roll [2]! We used Tanit’s suggestion, and it’s yummy!
Makes 6 rolls, or 36-48 slices.
