GARDEN SPRING ROLLS

Garden Spring Rolls image

My family loves Asian food and this recipe captures the healthy benefits of the nutritious veggies without any loss of vitamins from cooking. Even kids will gobble up raw veggies if you offer them in the form of a spring roll and give them a dipping sauce. -Terri Merritts, Nashville, Tennessee
