SUMMER ROLLS
MAKES 6–8 ROLLS
This snack is such a fun way to eat raw veggies; it feels way more treat-like than it actually is.
ROLLS
1 medium red bell pepper
1 medium carrot
½ medium cucumber
1 medium or large avocado
2 or 3 green onion stalks
Lemon, if needed
6–8 rice paper sheets, plus extra just in case
1 cup (25 g) fresh basil
Sea salt, to taste
DIP
2 tbsp (25 g) almond butter
1 tbsp (15 mL) tamari
1 tbsp (15 mL) coconut nectar
1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh lime juice
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
Chili flakes, a pinch or two
Cut the red pepper, carrot and cucumber into skinny 3-inch (7.5 cm) pieces. Cut the avocado into skinny wedges and the green onions in half lengthwise and into 3-inch (7.5 cm) strips. If you aren’t eating immediately, squirt some fresh lemon juice on the avocado wedges so they do not brown.
Add some water to a large enough pot to lay the rice sheets down flat in. Heat the water to a temperature that is hot, but not too hot to touch. Have a plate ready to lay the rice paper out on. Place each sheet one at a time into the warm water for around 30 seconds, or until it completely softens. Carefully pull it out of the water and place it down on the plate as flat as you can. These can rip easily, and you might need a few tries to get it right.
Place a few pieces of each veggie and the basil into the center of the rice paper, followed by a pinch of salt. Roll the left and right sides over top of the veggies as tight as you can without ripping it. Fold the bottom part over it, and continue rolling it until it’s closed.
To make the dip, mix the ingredients in a small bowl and use a fork to whisk it. Add a small spoonful of water if you feel it needs it. Serve with the rolls.
