Giant Veggies Summer Roll
Fresh, vibrant, and packed with crunchy veggies and creamy avocado, this Giant Summer Roll is wrapped in rice paper and served with a rich, tangy peanut dipping sauce—perfect as a light meal or impressive appetizer.
Ingredients
For the Summer Roll:
- 3 rice paper sheets
- 1-2 leaves of lettuce iceberg or butter lettuce work well
- 1 carrot julienned
- 1 cucumber julienned
- ½ avocado thinly sliced
- 2 imitation prawns or a plant-based shrimp alternative
- A small handful of fresh mint leaves
For the Peanut Dipping Sauce:
- 3 tbsp peanut butter creamy or crunchy—your call!
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp chili crisp or chili oil optional, for some heat and texture
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp grated ginger or a pinch of ground ginger
- 3 tbsp warm water add more or less to get your preferred consistency
Instructions
- Prep Your Veggies: Start by prepping all your fillings. Julienne the carrot and cucumber into thin matchsticks using a julienne peeler or a sharp knife. Slice the avocado thinly, and separate your lettuce leaves. Rinse and pat dry your mint leaves—these will add a super fresh, herby pop.
- Soften the Rice Paper: Fill a large shallow dish or plate with cold water. Dip three rice paper sheets into the water for about 7 seconds, just until they soften. Layer them slightly overlapping on a clean work surface—this triple wrap gives extra support for a big, satisfying roll.
- Layer It Up: Place 1–2 lettuce leaves right in the center. Then add the julienned carrots, cucumbers, avocado slices, and a generous amount of mint leaves. Top with your vegan prawns (or any plant-based protein you love).
- Wrap Like a Pro: Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly like a burrito. If needed, you can double-wrap with an extra rice paper to keep everything snug and sealed.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, chili oil (if using), garlic, lime juice, and ginger. Slowly whisk in the warm water until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Give it a taste—adjust as needed. Want it tangier? Add more lime. A little sweeter? A bit more sugar does the trick. Set it aside while you prep your roll.
- Slice & Serve: Use a sharp knife to cut the roll in half. Serve immediately with that dreamy creamy peanut dipping sauce—and enjoy every fresh, crunchy bite!
