Our recent go-to has been Mango Curry and spring rolls of some kind. My favorite is the light and fresh “salad” rolls with crunchy vegetables and tofu. This is my adaptation of that with a garlic cashew dipping sauce (oh hello, gorgeous) and my favorite vegetables at the moment.
Origins of Salad Rolls
Salad rolls (also known as gỏi cuốn, fresh spring rolls, or summer rolls) are a common Vietnamese dish and are also commonly served in Thai restaurants. It’s thought that the concept is inspired by Chinese egg rolls. They are typically made with fresh vegetables, herbs, and protein that are wrapped in rehydrated rice paper and served with a dipping sauce.
About These Salad Rolls
Do you want to know the secret ingredient that makes these salad rolls the best you’ll ever try? Fresh basil. Boom. Drop the mic. Fresh basil in salad rolls is something like magic. And when paired with tofu, crispy vegetables, and a savory-sweet dipping sauce, it’s all too much for my taste buds to handle. OK, clearly not, but it’s that good. Not only in this recipe delicious, it comes together in about 30 minutes! I think we can all spare 30 minutes for a delicious meal or snack, eh? The idea for adding radishes to the bottom of the rolls (so gorgeous!), came from Nutrition Stripped (genius!) If you haven’t tried that lady’s golden turmeric milk, by the way, you haven’t lived. Go do so now, please. It would make the perfect accompaniment to these rolls. I hope you all love these salad rolls!
