Rice Paper Salad Rolls




Bored with the same side salad? Can’t get the kids to eat it? Maybe you need to roll it up! I did this because I had a few sheet of rice paper to use, just about a dozen, not enough to make a meal, but enough for some fun side veggies.


Ingredients:
Cooked green beans
Cooked carrot sticks
Mesclun salad
Rice paper
Sweet chili sauce to serve

Follow the instructions on how to soften, fill and roll the rice papers here.





These were a hit with the kids, they like salad, but they had more fun eating it this way
:-), so I will add this recipe to Eleonora’s collection at “Chi mi aiuta a raccogliere l’insalata?”

    As my husband is Vietnamese we eat these often. They are one of my favourite foods! Especially if my mother-in-law makes them ;-)
    I keep meaning to do a post on rice paper rolls... maybe one day soon.

    I'm a big fan of rice paper rolls. I never thought of them as a substitute for salad but I see what you mean.

    Mmmh Chandra, now that I think about it Kiwi men are well known for not eating salads, maybe I should try this out on a few...
