italian sushi roll
i’ve seen the prosciutto sushi trend all over instagram & was immediately intrigued… so naturally, i had to put my own italian-inspired twist on sushi.🤌🍣🇮🇹✨
we’re swapping the traditional seaweed wrap for prosciutto & bringing in california roll vibes with creamy wasabi avocado “cream cheese” + crab. then we add basil pesto, parmesan, fresh veggies, & a drizzle of balsamic for the ultimate italian-inspired bite.
it’s like an italian sub, caprese salad, & california roll all fused into one fun, protein-packed roll.
