Do you want your kids to eat more veggies, but they just don’t love salad? This two-bite finger food is irresistible dipped in a savory tahini dressing. Enjoy the freshness of Spring, to everyone’s health! (Note, these don’t store well, so make what you are going to eat.)
Ingredients:
- 1 package of Spring Roll Wrappers
- 1-2 heads lettuce, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup radish, grated or sliced into matchsticks
- 1/2 cup beet, grated or sliced into matchsticks
- 1/2 – 1 cup carrot, grated or sliced into matchsticks

- 2 TB diced cilantro, parsley, basil (or all of them!)
Directions:

2. Slide spring roll wrappers, one at a time, into a wide bowl so the wrapper is covered completely with water. Let sit in the water for 9 seconds. Take it out!
3. Place ~2TB of veggie mixture onto the wrapper, and roll it up like a burrito.
4. Set them on a plate to serve, with tahini dressing or sweet chili sauce and enjoy!
