Fruit Spring Rolls Recipe

I created this delicious fresh spring rolls recipe that highlights the vibrant flavors of mango, banana, and mint. Wrapped in delicate rice paper, each roll is filled with a colorful mix of kiwi, strawberry, watermelon, and a touch of blueberry, all perfectly complemented by a light, tangy yogurt dipping sauce with honey and lime.

I recently experimented with a fresh twist on summer treats and ended up creating these delightful Fruit Spring Rolls. I used 8 round rice paper wrappers and filled them with a mix of juicy, vibrant fruits like a ripe mango sliced thinly, banana cut in strips, and some quartered strawberries for a burst of flavor.

I also added in two sliced kiwis, one cup of diced seedless watermelon and even tossed in a few blueberries for that extra touch of yum. I then sprinkled fresh mint leaves for a crisp finish.

And if you love a good dipping sauce, the combination of plain Greek yogurt, honey and a little squeeze of lime juice really brings all the flavors together. I love how easy it was to assemble these rolls, making them a perfect refreshing treat on a warm day.

Trust me, these fruit spring rolls are a fun and tasty way to enjoy fresh produce!

Ingredient Quantities

How to Make this

1. Start by preparing your dipping sauce – simply mix the plain Greek yogurt, honey and lime juice in a small bowl. Set it aside.

3. Lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean surface.

4. Arrange a few slices of ripe mango, banana strips, and kiwi slices in a row in the middle of the wrapper.

5. Add the quartered strawberries and diced seedless watermelon on top of the other fruits.

6. Sprinkle over the blueberries, if you like the extra flavor, and toss in a handful of fresh mint leaves.

7. Be sure to keep the fruits well-spaced so you can roll it up easily.

8. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in both sides snugly.

9. Roll it up firmly until the entire roll is closed and the filling is secure.

10. Repeat the process for all the wrappers and serve the rolls with the yogurt dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy your fresh fruit spring rolls!

FAQ

Fruit Spring Rolls Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Rice paper wrappers: If you’re out, try using fresh lettuce leaves. They give a similar crunch.
• Mango: In a pinch, you can substitute ripe papaya or even a peach, sliced thinly, for that juicy sweetness.
• Strawberries: You could replace these with fresh raspberries or chopped cherries if strawberries arent available.
• Kiwis: Sliced green apples or pears can work though they bring a different kinda texture.
• Blueberries: If you dont fancy blueberries, red grapes or blackberries can be a neat alternative.

Pro Tips

1. Make sure your rice paper is completely soft before you start assembling your roll. If its not soft enough, it might tear when you’re trying to roll the filled wrapper, so dip it in warm water until it looks flexible but not too soggy.

2. Try to keep your fruit pieces about the same size when you slice them. This helps in making sure every bite gets a good mix of flavors and nothing is too overpowering.

3. When arranging the fruits on the rice paper, don’t overstuff it. Leaving a bit of space on the sides makes it easier to roll up and helps prevent the wrapper from breaking apart.

4. The dipping sauce goes a long way in tying everything together so if you’re a sauce lover, consider making a bit extra. It really makes the dish feel more balanced and fun to eat.
