The red paprika provides valuable vitamin C, while the avocado supplies mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which have a positive effect on cholesterol levels.

You can also fill the sushi with tofu, carrots, arugala or other vegetables, depending on your preference. The recipe is ideal for using up vegetable leftovers.
