Take a long English cucumber and shave it with a vegetable peeler.

Discard the first shavings to get wide long pieces for beautiful ribbons.

Smash one medium avocado in a large bowl.

Add 1 cup of chopped kale to the avocado.

Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the bowl.

Add about 1/4 teaspoon of salt, adjusting to taste.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of cumin to the mixture.

Add a pinch of cayenne (about 1/8 teaspoon) for kick.

Smash all the ingredients together to get a rustic, chunky consistency.

Lay out the wide strips of cucumber.

Take about 1 tablespoon of the guacamole and spread it into the cucumber strip with a spoon.

Lightly roll up the cucumber with the filling using your hands.

Repeat the process with all of your rolls.

Place the rolls on a beautiful plate for presentation.

Sprinkle a little bit of sweet paprika on top before serving.
