When I first made these spring rolls, I was amazed at how quickly they came together. The combination of fresh veggies, herbs, and rice paper wraps creates a delightful crunch that’s hard to resist. Adding ingredients like fresh mint and cilantro gives an aromatic lift that perfectly complements the peanut sauce. I recommend prepping your ingredients ahead of time, so assembly becomes a breeze!

What really makes these rolls shine is the dipping sauce I pair them with. While the rolls are light and refreshing, the rich, creamy peanut sauce adds a satisfying depth. I encourage you to experiment with different veggies based on what you have on hand, as these rolls are incredibly versatile and can be tailored to suit your tastes!

Perfectly Balanced Flavors

The combination of fresh vegetables, herbs, and creamy avocado creates an uplifting flavor profile in these spring rolls. Each ingredient plays a crucial role; for instance, the mint and cilantro not only add aroma but also a refreshing zing that contrasts the nutty sweetness of the peanut sauce. Adjusting the proportions of these herbs can help you customize the flavor to your personal taste. If you prefer a more intense herbal flavor, consider adding basil to the mix.

Incorporating a variety of colors and textures not only makes the dish visually appealing but also maximizes the nutritional benefits. Each vegetable contributes different vitamins and minerals; for example, bell peppers are rich in vitamin C, while carrots provide a good source of beta-carotene. This focus on nutrition is particularly effective at parties, where guests often appreciate lighter, health-conscious choices alongside traditional snacks.

Rolling Techniques

When rolling the spring rolls, the technique is just as important as the ingredients. Make sure to not overfill the wrappers, as this can make them difficult to roll and lead to tearing. A small handful of each ingredient is sufficient. I find it helpful to practice the rolling motion with just one or two elements before adding all the fillings. This allows for a looser roll that's easier to manage and ensures that the veggies remain crisp.

As you roll up the spring roll, keep the tension consistent to avoid breaks. If the rice paper does tear, don't fret—simply take a second wrapper to reinforce the first. It's also beneficial to have a damp cloth handy to cover the finished spring rolls, preventing them from drying out. If you're planning to make these ahead of time, I recommend storing them in an airtight container lined with damp paper towels to maintain their moisture.

Ingredients

For the Spring Rolls

12 rice paper wrappers
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup cucumber, julienned
1 cup bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup lettuce, shredded
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Feel free to swap out the vegetables for your favorites or anything you want to use up in the fridge!

Instructions

Prepare the Dipping Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, water, and sesame oil until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed, and sprinkle chili flakes if you like it spicy.

Soak the Rice Paper

Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10 seconds until it softens. Lay it flat on a clean surface.

Assemble the Spring Rolls

Add a small handful of carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, lettuce, mint, cilantro, and avocado to the center of the rice paper. Fold the sides over the filling and then roll from the bottom up, tucking it tightly as you go.

Repeat

Continue to make more spring rolls until all the ingredients are used. Keep the finished rolls covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

Serve

Serve the spring rolls chilled with the peanut dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!

These spring rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but you can also store them in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

Pro Tips

If you're new to rolling spring rolls, practice makes perfect! Don't worry if they don't look perfect
they’ll still taste amazing. You can also add proteins like grilled chicken or shrimp for an extra boost.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

These spring rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare them a few hours in advance. After rolling, lay them in a single layer on a platter, and cover them with a slightly damp cloth to keep them from drying out. If you need to store them for longer, placing them in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers can help maintain their freshness for up to a day.

If you end up with leftover spring rolls, you can turn them into a delightful salad. Simply chop them into bite-sized pieces and toss with a dressing made from the peanut sauce. This transformation not only reduces waste but also provides a quick, nutritious meal that’s just as flavorful as the original.

Dipping Sauce Variations

While the peanut dipping sauce is a classic choice, you can easily switch it up by tailoring the ingredients to suit your preferences. For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or chili paste to the sauce. Prefer a tangier flavor? Increase the lime juice or add rice vinegar for a zesty twist that complements the spring rolls beautifully.

If you’re looking for a nut-free alternative, consider substituting the peanut butter with tahini or sunflower seed butter. These options provide a similar creaminess while accommodating various dietary restrictions. Whichever version you choose, serving the sauce in a small dish with a sprinkle of crushed peanuts on top can add an attractive finishing touch.
