Fruit Filled Vegetarian and Vegan Spring Roll Recipe

By , About.com Guide

Fruit-filled spring rolls with a simple yogurt-based sauce are a light, cool, and refreshing dish, perfect for a picnic on a sweltering day. Feel free to use any kind of fruit you have on hand, but keep in mind that softer fruits like melon and berries will fare better in this recipe than harder fruits like apples and pears.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 0 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 12-15 spring roll wrappers (available at most Asian grocers)
  • approx. 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 2 kiwi fruits, diced
  • approx. 1/2 cup canteloupe, diced
  • 1 honey tangerine or satsuma orange, segmented
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • 1/3 cup lemon flavored soy or dairy yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
  • juice of one lime

Preparation:

Make sure all your fruit is sliced into half-inch cubes or smaller, and toss together in a large bowl.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lime juice and maple syrup or agave until smooth. Set aside 1/4 cup of this sauce to use as a dip for your finished spring rolls, and gently mix the remaining sauce with the fruit, stirring to coat evenly.

Submerge spring roll wrappers until pliable, and place approx one tablespoon of fruit mixture on wrapper. Add 2-3 mint leaves on top of filling if desired. Wrap your spring rolls,(see How to Make Spring Rolls), dip in extra yogurt sauce, and enjoy!
