I became a really huge fan of spring rolls last year. I tried them for a first time in a Thai restaurant, then decided to try making my own and made the Butternut Squash Almond Rice Paper Rolls and those became my very favorite!
While browsing my assigned blog for this month's Secret Recipe Club reveal I came across Fruit Spring Rolls. I knew then and there I would be trying a fruit spring roll in my near future! This last month I dug into the blog called Sustainable Cooking for One written by Stephanie Bostic who also happens to have a cookbook out titled "One Bowl: Simple Healthy Recipes for One". Stephanie has several interesting recipes that are great to have on hand for those days when it is just me eating in the house!
I adapted the recipe some to add noodles to the picture. I feel like I need these noodles in order to have a spring roll. They just add that "sumthin' sumthin'" to the whole thing for me. I also went with a citrus dipping sauce. The original recipe for Stephanie's recipe can be found by clicking the link below. I hope you will enjoy!
