Bento box lunch idea 🌱

These rainbow summer rolls are perfect for an alternative school or work lunch! 🌈🌱

If you can’t bring peanuts in your lunch swap the peanut sauce out for a sweet Thai chili sauce instead 💕

Rainbow summer rolls:

8 sheets rice paper

1 cup rice noodles

1 cup lettuce

1 cup carrots, julienned

1 cup cucumber, julienned

1 cup red cabbage, shredded

1 cup cilantro

½ cup mango, thinly sliced

Peanut Sauce

½ cup peanut butter

¼ cup soy sauce (reduced sodium)

½ tbsp ginger, freshly grated

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tsp maple syrup

½ tsp crushed red pepper

3 tbsp cool water

Instructions:

1. Wash and prep all ingredients as listed above.

2. Mix all peanut sauce ingredients together and set aside.

3. Fill a large bowl with water and dip one sheet of rice paper into the water until the entire sheet is wet. Remove from the water right away and gently dab off any excess water with a clean dish towel.

4. Place the rice paper on a cutting board and fill place your desired fruits and veggies inside in the middle of the rice paper (see picture above).

5. Next, roll the rice paper up like a burrito. Start by taking the side closest to your body and pulling it over the mound of ingredients. Then tuck both the right and left side over. Finally continue to roll up the rice paper (again, picture wrapping up a burrito).

6. Continue this process until you've filled and wrapped each summer roll, one at a time. Cut in half, dip into the peanut sauce, and enjoy!
