Bean Sprouts Salad Spring Roll

This Bean Sprouts Salad Spring Roll recipe is Vietnamese cuisine inspired salad. I give credit to my very dear friend Anaya for this recipe and she in turn gives credit to her friend and food network. 
No matter what changes we make, this spring roll is tasty, healthy, very filling, very colorful, and quick & easy to make. It has always been a very big hit whenever I have taken to potluck. Hope you all enjoy it.
This versatile spring roll can be eaten with mint sauce or cilantro. I have used mint dressing in this recipe. I especially like this since it is not fried, tasty and a healthy salad which I like to skip a meal and eat this instead.

  • Now take the rice paper wrapper (Available in all Chinese/Vietnamese grocery store) and follow the instructions on the wrapper to fold it.

Notes

Tips
  1. Tastes best when served immediately after the salad is wrapped.
  2. If planning to make for a party, make the stuffing ready and wrap it 30 minutes before or if wrapped at an earlier time, roll each wrap in saran wrap so that it does not stick to each other.
  3. Be innovative and add vegetables and nuts as per your taste.
  4. Serve on a fancy bowl or lettuce.
