Vietnamese salad rolls - light and healthy!

This is one of my favorite warm-weather recipes. The prep's a bit tedious, but you can cut up all the ingredients at once and store them in the fridge in tupperware for several days to make fresh rolls in 2 minutes whenever you feel like it. You will need:

grilled or boiled pork tenderloin, thinly sliced, with each slice cut lengthwise once again

cooked shrimp - shelled and cut in half lengthwise

cucumber - cut into matchsticks

carrots - cut into matchsticks

fresh basil - just the leaves

fresh mint - just the leaves

cooked rice stick noodles

rice paper

peanut sauce - you should be able to find this at any Asian grocery store or in the International Foods aisle at Walmart or other big grocery stores. You can also make your own, it's fairly straightforward, just Google it.

Get a decent-sized working space, arrange all the ingredients within reach, and fill up a big bowl with warm Water. Put a sheet of rice paper in warm water for about 1-2 minutes until it's completely wet and pliable. Be careful handling them, they can tear easily. Spread the sheet of rice paper on the table and arrange all the ingredients (minus the sauce, of course) lengthwise. Example here: chicken and shrimp, just chicken, grilled fish, or you can make vegetarian/vegan options and add avocado or grilled tofu.

If you are going to make a bunch ahead of time and store them, it's best to wrap each individual roll in saran wrap - otherwise, the rolls will stick to each other and tear when you pull them apart.

Hey Ms. Juice - thanks so much for sharing! Any reason one couldn't use lettuce leaves for the roll up rather than rice paper?
