Vegetable Spring Rolls

Caprese Skewers

Method

Vegetable Spring Rolls

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a medium bowl, combine the julienned carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, mint leaves, cilantro leaves, and lettuce leaves.

  2. 2

    Soak Rice Paper Wrappers

    Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes soft. Remove and place it on a clean surface.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Rolls

    Place a small amount of the filling in the center of the rice paper wrapper. Fold the sides over the filling and then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the spring rolls with soy sauce for dipping.

Hummus

  1. 5

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas (drained), tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, and salt.

  2. 6

    Adjust Consistency

    Blend until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with additional olive oil. Serve with pita bread or vegetable sticks.

Caprese Skewers

  1. 8

    Assemble the Skewers

    On each skewer, thread a cherry tomato, a basil leaf, and a mozzarella ball. Repeat until all ingredients are used.

  2. 9

    Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze

    Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

  3. 10

    Serve

    These Caprese skewers can be served immediately or chilled for a refreshing appetizer.
