Spring rolls are a great no-bake appetizer, side or light meal.

They’re healthy, easy to make and a fun way to get creative in the kitchen. You can get your friends, family or kids involved in preparing these delicious additions. Heck, you can even have a spring roll party and invite each person to bring their favorite ingredient. The sky is the limit.

Homemade Thai Peanut Sauce

Peanut butter, honey, lime juice and seasonings come together in this Thai Peanut Sauce. It’s perfect for dipping and drizzling, is made in less than 5 minutes and is tastier (or healthier) than store-bought peanut sauces.

You have the option to serve your peanut sauce as a dip OR drizzled on top of the filling, inside your rolls, prior to wrapping and sealing them.

Time-Saving Tips

Purchase shredded carrots and cabbage, if possible.
A julienne peeler can save a lot of time when slicing veggies into matchstick-size pieces.
Chopping herbs? Herb shears will cut your time in half.

General Tips

Look for the spring roll wrappers online or in the international section.
Don’t serve your spring rolls on paper plates, they’ll stick.
If making your rolls more than a few hours ahead, line the bottom of an airtight container with a slightly damp paper towel. Place a second damp paper towel on top of the rolls. This helps prevent the rice paper from drying out and becoming hard.
There are quantities listed below, but feel free to use more of an ingredient, less of another or substitute one entirely. Have fun with these sensational slices of heaven!
