Ree Drummond said her California roll recipe is perfect for summer

The recipe introduction on the Food Network site explains Drummond’s deconstructed idea. “This dish is a deconstructed version of the California roll, which typically includes crab (real or imitation), cucumber, and avocado,” the recipe notes. “Ree skips the avocado and doubles down on crunch with shredded carrots and canned fried onions. She tops it all with pickled ginger, sesame seeds and seaweed snacks, which are a nod to the nori seaweed found in many rolls.”
