Method

  1. Use a small circular cookie cutter or a serrated knife to remove the seeds from the cucumber. Save the seeds to toss through a salad.
  2. Divide the cucumber rings into three. Fill a third of the cucumber with ham, some avocado and carrot. Mix the tuna with the sweetcorn and mayonnaise and use to fill a third of the cucumber, along with some pepper and carrot. Finally, fill the remaining third with smoked salmon and any remaining avocado and pepper.
  3. Arrange on a platter and sprinkle with spring onion and sesame seeds. Serve with a dipping bowl of soy sauce.
