It’s Spring, which means time for light and colorful foods to enjoy! Fresh Spring rolls are very suitable for this and easy to make yourself. This healthy Vietnamese dish is filled with lots of healthy ingredients and raw – no frying needed. Oh and extra bonus: only 100 kcal per piece!
Most of us know Spring rolls as the fried snack made with a dough exterior, but a version with rice paper is a lot more light and super tasty. These fresh raw ones, also known as Summer rolls, are great to enjoy while working on that Summer body!
I like the Asian cuisine with its love for spices, rice and vegetables a lot.
Experimenting with flavors is something I love doing and it usually turns out quite tasty 😉 Spring rolls work best with crispy veggies, and I’ve added some mango for a touch of sweet. For this recipe I didn’t add the amounts so you can decide yourself, depending on how many you want to make. Just add the ingredients to taste and fill up your rolls with them. If you make your beauties around the same portion as I did on this photo, you’ll have yourself 100 kcal Spring rolls! Have some of these yummies for snacking or lunch, or serve as part of your dinner.
With love,
