Ingredients
- (All produce should be organic and washed.)
- 1 package spring roll skin (found in Asian grocery and contains only rice)
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro (with stems )
- 1 cup finely chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion (red onion is an okay substitute)
- 1 handful bibb lettuce (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 fresh avocado, skinned, pitted, and chopped
- juice of 1/2 line or 1 1/2 tablespoon bottled juice
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
Directions
Chop all of the vegetables, and toss in
a mixing bowl. Boil water in a pan at
least the width of the spring roll
skins. Submerge each skin in the boiling
water for a count of 5, then roll each
one as you go. (They want to stick
together like glue.)
Gently take the skin out of the water.
Run the skin under cold water for a few
seconds, so handling is easier. Wet a
plate, and spread out the spring roll
skin. Place the filling on the s/r skin,
making a line on the edge closest to
you. Roll it up, folding in the left and
right corners (like burrito). Continue
with the rest.
This is a great way to use any fresh
produce you may have in the fridge.
