Papaya Spring Rolls with Tangy Dip are refreshing and tasty snack or side dish. Summer is not over yet and this tropical flavor may be just what you need during these hot days.
These Papaya Spring Rolls are more of a tropical than spring flavor and I have to make more before the summer is over. They are incredibly delicious and you can eat them with tofu or tempeh, stir-fry rice or noodles and other Asian dishes you love. Just keep in mind they are best eaten fresh, although they are still okay the next day.
However, this is one those dishes that taste best fresh. They are also great for parties as a finger foods. And if you feel really adventures, you may also try my VEGGIE SALMON SUSHI ROLL. In addition, I have several Asian dishes on my MAIN COURSE Recipe Page, that you may like.
Regarding the dip, I am not sure what type of vegan mayo is available in your location. I personally use Vegenaise. However, you can use other brand, but you may have to adjust the taste. You can also make the dip from cashew by visiting this RECIPE.
Otherwise, if you have not made spring rolls before, please watch my video I have included with the recipe. It shows you easy to follow instructions how to make to it. It is nothing to be scared of and I hope you will give it a try.
Thank you so much for visiting and if you have any questions or suggestions I will be happy to hear from you. In the meantime, I wish you a wonderful week.
