California Rolls are a Japanese-inspired sushi roll that has become popular all over the world. The roll is made with a layer of sushi rice, topped with crabmeat, mayonnaise, and avocado, and wrapped in a sheet of dried seaweed (nori). The roll is then sliced into bite-sized pieces and served with soy sauce, ginger, and wasabi. California rolls are a great introduction to the world of sushi for those who are hesitant to eat raw fish. They are also perfect for vegetarians who want to enjoy a sushi roll without the seafood. The creamy texture of the avocado and crabmeat pairs perfectly with the nutty flavor of the sushi rice and the saltiness of the nori.

Instructions

1.	Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly and cook according to package instructions.
2.	In a small bowl, combine the crabmeat, mayonnaise, and salt, then set aside.
3.	Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and let cool for a few minutes.
4.	Add the crab mixture to the rice and mix well.
5.	Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Thinly slice the avocado, then set aside.
6.	Place a sheet of nori on a sushi mat with the shiny side facing down.
7.	Wet your hands and take a handful of the rice mixture, then spread it evenly over the nori.
8.	Place a few slices of avocado on top of the rice.
9.	Roll the sushi tightly using the sushi mat, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
