Summer Salad Rolls

These guys have definitely been the favourite lunch in our house this summer!  Surprisingly quick and easy to make...VERY low cost...and you can change the ingredients easily for each person's serving based on their taste buds or diet!  If you let your little boys make their own I promise they will gobble them up too!  Great for entertaining, or for enjoying alone in your backyard:)

I've tried many many different dipping sauces...here's links to the last 3 that I've tried.  My favourite green salad dressing is also AMAZING with these rolls!

The rice paper rounds can be found in the Asian section of your grocery  store.  They are usually around $2 a pack and you get about 20....that's a steal!  Follow the directions on the package for soaking.  If you haven't tried them before...you literally soak them in hot water for about 5 seconds and then let them sit for about 30 seconds...then stuff them and roll them...that's it!

You can totally make these ahead of time...or pack them for the beach...just lay a damp paper towel over them to prevent them from turning back into crunchy rice papers:)
