Fresh Summer Rolls With Creamy Peanut Sauce
Summer has arrived in New York and meteorologists are forecasting a hot one this year. The temperature soared to a blistering 96 degrees last week, and it definitely felt like it. In this heat, I long for lighter meals like salads, vegetables, green juice and lots of water. With that being said you are going to absolutely love these summer vegetable rolls, I promise!
Spring Rolls VS. Summer Rolls
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between spring rolls and summer rolls? Well, I’m here to enlighten you! The main difference between spring rolls vs. summer rolls is the inclusion of fresh, often uncooked vegetables in the filling. Summer rolls are usually filled with fresh seasonal veggies, fruits and herbs like basil, thai basil, cilantro or anything else you fancy!
Wrapping Paper
I typically choose Three Ladies, which are commonly available in Asian markets or can be bought on Amazon. Be cautious of overstuffing the rolls as it can lead to torn rice paper, making it challenging to wrap and seal.
Dipping Sauce For Summer Rolls
I enjoy using traditional dipping sauces such as creamy peanut or sweet Thai chili. The dipping sauce possibilities are infinite, and you have the freedom to make your own. Try to experiment and see what you can whip up. The most delicious recipes often arise unexpectedly.
Health Benefits
Summer rolls are often packed with fresh vegetables, lean protein, and herbs, making them a healthy choice that is low in calories and high in nutrients.
