Ingredients

Scale
  • Rice paper wrappers (8-9 inches round)
  • Mango, peeled and sliced
  • Strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
  • Kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • Seedless grapes or blueberries
  • Banana, sliced (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (mint or basil leaves, optional)
  • For the tangy dipping sauce:
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • Red chili flakes or small fresh chili, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: Wash, peel, and slice all fruit into thin, manageable pieces roughly 2-3 inches long.
  2. Make the dipping sauce: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and a small pinch of red chili flakes. Adjust sweetness or acidity to taste. Set aside.
  3. Soften the rice paper: Fill a large shallow dish with warm water (around 90°F). Submerge one rice paper sheet for about 10-15 seconds until pliable but not too soft. Lay flat on a clean surface or parchment paper.
  4. Assemble the rolls: Near the bottom edge of the rice paper, lay a few pieces of each fruit variety in a colorful row, add a couple of fresh herb leaves if using. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the fruit. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fruit.
  5. Serve: Arrange the fresh fruit spring rolls on a platter and serve with the tangy dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

Use lukewarm water (around 90°F) to soften rice paper for best results. Work quickly to prevent rice paper from drying and cracking. Dust work surface lightly with rice flour or cornstarch to prevent sticking. Do not soak rice paper too long to avoid tearing. Store leftovers in an airtight container lined with a damp paper towel and refrigerate; consume within 24 hours. Dipping sauce can be refrigerated separately for up to 3 days.
