Hummus Salad Rolls
Early Summer 2017
Fill these rolls with whatever vegetables are fresh and crisp. Lemony hummus and crunchy peanuts add protein while making these particular rolls both vegetarian and vegan. Soaking the rice papers in beet juice gives them a pretty pink hue but no flavour. Y and Y Brand Sweet Chilli Sauce contains no colouring or preservatives.
