Summer Rolls with Thai Dipping Sauce

Summer rolls are coming with the Spring, or does the Spring come with summer rolls?

At least, spring is here, and the need for summer rolls as well. Well, actually I also eat them in winter times. I guess if I would have to eat one dish daily, for the rest of my life, it would be probably summer rolls.

Making Summer Rolls is super easy, once you’ve figured out how to do the rolling (I like to roll them like a burrito). And you just can personalize them by stuffing in all your favourite vegetables and fruits. A version with mango is, for example, a perfect one for warm summer days. Also, summer rolls are perfect on the go or to take them to work. They are a wonderful light dish, which means that you can eat them easily during your lunch break, without getting tired afterwards.

 I first place all my prepared ingredients on a plate, so I don’t have to deal with that and then prepare one dish with warm tap water (to soak the rice wrapper in).
