Salad Rolls

I am taking part in a 30 day challenge to get healthier. So, I thought it would be appropriate to post this recipe. It's my version of Vietnamese/Thai Spring Rolls. I like having these for lunch! When you order these in a restaurant, they have rice vermicelli noodles inside with a tiny bit of veggies. I find that to be redundant. So, I just put a whole bunch of veggies and shrimp and/or shredded chicken depending on the mood. Kids love taking part in making and they love them too! I think it's a good time to start thinking about getting healthier. For me, I would really like to take better care of myself this year.....

Here is how

You will need

-Rice papers(a big round kind)--check this if you are not sure what they are. You can find them in most grocery stores in big cities. Try an Asian aisle.

-Any veggie you might like....I like cucumber, carrots, red bell peppers, cirantro, green onions, lettuce, alfalfa sprouts

-Shrimp (cooked, shells removed, cut in half length wise)

-Shredded chicken meat (I like using the leftover from rotesserie chicken)

1) Julienne all veggies (it tastes better if you can cut them smaller/thinner) Finely chop cirantro & green onions

2) Mix all the veggies in a bowl and toss it with a fork

3) If using chicken, add the chicken to the veggie

4) Put some boiling water in a pie plate. Soak rice paper one at a time in hot water. When soft, put it on a dinner plate. Put veggies and shrimp (about 1/4 cup) on the rice paper, wrap it up like a present. Repeat....

5) serve them with spicy peanut sauce(I just buy the sauce)

Try this video on how to roll as it's kinda hard to explain. I just mix all the veggies together instead of separating them like in the video. I think it tastes better.... Enjoy!
