Add our delicious Vegetable Spring Rolls with Lemon-Herb Vinaigrette to your upcoming dinner or lunch menu.
Vegetable Spring Rolls
Makes 12
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package miniature rainbow carrots, peeled and cut matchstick-thin
- 3 stalks celery, cut matchstick-thin
- ½ daikon, cut matchstick-thin
- ½ cup alfalfa sprouts
- ½ cup Lemon-Herb Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
- 1 head butter lettuce, washed, trimmed, and cut into 12 (4-inch) leaves
- 12 blanched chives*
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine carrots, celery, daikon, and sprouts. Add Lemon-Herb Vinaigrette, and toss to coat.
- Divide vegetables among lettuce leaves; roll to cover. Secure each bundle by tying with a chive. Serve immediately. *To blanch chives, cook for about 10 seconds in simmering water, or microwave for about 15 seconds in a paper towel. Chives will be delicate, so preparing extra allows for breakage.
