VIETNAMESE SUMMER ROLLS
These light and healthy Vietnamese summer rolls are filled with cooked prawn & pork, rice noodles, lettuce and fresh herbs for flavor and crunch. Once your ingredients are prepped, the rolling fun begins as sheets of rice paper are softened and used for the wrappers. Dipped in a peanut sauce, these rolls are a great hot-weather appetizer or light lunch.
