How to Make Homemade Salad Rolls in Under 20 Minutes
Deep-fried spring rolls are a staple when ordering Chinese takeout. You may love 'em, but your gut sure doesn't. Instead, try this super simple and healthy alternative: fresh salad rolls. They're perfect for vegans and celiacs alike, making them an ideal dish to take to potlucks.
Salad rolls come together in a snap and are a great way to use up leftovers. Don't be afraid to get creative with the fillings! I think a little mango would be delicious here as well.
