Fresh Spring Rolls

with Cashew Butter Dipping Sauce

Spring Roll Ingredients

• 1 lb. cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 head radicchio (or purple cabbage)
• 6-8 radishes julienned
• 1 large carrot shredded
• 1 bunch green onions
• 1 can bean sprouts
• 1 bag fresh spinach
• 1 bunch fresh basil and/or mint
• 1 package rice paper (I used the Dynasty brand)
• water

Cashew Butter Dipping Sauce Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cashew butter (I prefer Trader Joe’s)
• 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
• 1 Tbsp. tamari or gluten free soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp. maple syrup
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice (lime juice works too)
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• hot water (to thin to your preference)

Directions

Chop and place all ingredients into separate bowls. Combine all ingredients for the dipping sauce. In a large glass of water, rotate one piece of rice paper until wet. Don’t over soak the rice paper or it will just rip. A quick dip will do!

Layer all your favorite vegetables, do a half roll with the rice paper, then add your shrimp. Fold in edges (like a burrito), then roll the rest of the way to seal.

Dip in the cashew butter sauce and enjoy! This is a great family meal option as everyone can include or exclude the ingredients they want. Some other great filling options would be –

• cooked ramen noodles
• cooked rice
• tofu
• kimchi
• avocado
• butter lettuce
• cucumber
• jalapeno or other chili
• cilantro
• shredded pork, chicken, or beef
• fresh tuna
• cooked salmon
• water chesnuts
• bell peppers

The options are truly endless! There are also more traditional peanut dipping sauces online, but that’s Death’s dipping sauce for me, so I went the cashew butter route.
