Hello My Dearest Foodies,
I decided to make these delicious Spring Rolls to welcome the spring this week, although the temperature is still below zero. The good thing is that we have some sun and there is a sense of spring in the air.
Don't forget to check the LATEST POST by our beautiful VEGAN WEDNESDAY initiator @heart-to-heart and please join us.
I am sure you are all familiar with spring rolls and most of you love them, because whatβs not to love? They are crunchy and flavorful and you can choose your favorite ingredients to make them. In this case, I decided to use cantaloupe because I had those cantaloupe bowls from my previous recipe. I made smoothie with most of it, but I got an idea to try it for spring rolls in combination with mango, basil and other healthy ingredients. I really love how they turned out and I hope you will like them too.
I am also using Spinach Vermicelli and they are slightly green as you may noticed, however you can just use regular.

I'd have never thought to use cantaloupe in a spring roll! Brilliant! I bet it's delicious. I used to never like fruit in my savory dishes, but now I realize I was missing out on some really yummy flavor combinations. π
Thank you so much Sweetie I am glad you like it and I know what you mean, I used to me the same. Our taste buds change wen we go vegan, lol πππΏπππ
They really do! Takes a little time, but I definitely enjoy different things now than I used to. Finally got most of the processed garbage of my youth out of my system. ;)
That's the main thing my Dear πΈππΈ
