Description
A refreshing Spring Roll Salad that combines vibrant fresh vegetables with a creamy peanut dressing for a unique dining experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 sheets rice paper wrappers
- 2 cups mixed greens, lightly packed
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup cucumber, julienned
- 1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ½ cup fresh herbs (mint and cilantro), finely chopped
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Water, as needed for consistency
- ¼ cup crushed peanuts, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional), for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and minced garlic. Gradually add water until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Soften Rice Wrappers: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper for about 10 seconds until pliable. Remove and gently shake off excess water.
- Assemble the Salad: Place the softened wrapper on a clean surface. In the center, layer a small handful of mixed greens, followed by the carrots, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.
- Roll It Up: Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then roll from the bottom to encase the filling tightly. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
- Finishing Touches: Slice each roll in half diagonally for an elegant presentation. Drizzle with peanut dressing and sprinkle with crushed peanuts and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
Serve with small bowls of dressing for dipping. Best enjoyed fresh to maintain crispness.
