Easy, Healthy Spring Rolls (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

These Healthy Spring Rolls are SUPER easy to throw together! If you’re looking for a quick, healthy, nutrient-packed lunch or snack, you’ll want to try this recipe out. These Spring rolls are gluten-free, dairy-free, and can be made vegan or vegetarian (just swap out the protein sources)!

Now that it’s officially Spring and the weather is starting to get warmer and sunnier, my body is craving more fresh, light meals! I love making these spring rolls for MANY reasons. You can have so much variety by switching up the vegetables and protein (if any) you use. By switching up the fillings, it’s like you’re never having the same rolls twice!

Plus, packing these rolls with color also means you’re packing them with nutrients that our bodies love (plus who doesn’t love colorful food?? 😆)! One of my favorite parts about this meal though is the peanut sauce. It’s super smooth, full of flavor, and just takes these rolls to another level! If you don’t consume peanuts, you can make a dip using another nut or seed butter of your choice. Either way, it’s essential!

What You’ll Need to Make These Colorful Spring Rolls:

  • Vegetables – use any of your favorites! I used carrots, cucumbers, purple cabbage, peppers, cilantro, and romaine in mine
  • Protein – I love chicken, shrimp, or salmon. Leave out or swap for a vegan/vegetarian-friendly option!
  • Rice wrapping paper
  • Peanut butter – I use organic! Could try another nut or seed butter for a different flavor.
  • Tamari – soy sauce works too

How To Make:

Start by gathering all of the vegetables you want to use – add as many as you’d like. This is a great way to finish whatever is left in your fridge! Thinly slice your vegetables and set aside.

Next, if you’re using a protein source, prepare it properly until it’s fully cooked and ready to be added to your rolls! For protein, I love adding grilled chicken, shrimp, or baked salmon. I’m sure you can get creative with using other sources!

To prepare the rice paper, take a medium bowl and fill it with warm water. Take each rice paper sheet and dip it in warm water to soften. Place them on a towel to remove excess water before putting on your plate.

Next, take your vegetables and protein and add them to each rice paper wrap. Make sure to not overfill them or they won’t roll well and will fall open! Roll each wrap long ways and fold over the edges. Do this for each of your wraps!

Make your peanut sauce and place it on the side of dipping. Voila, you’re ready to eat!
