Dominion LenDing Centres OUR HOUSE sUmmer 2017 >> 15 FOUNDATION Fitness trainer Mandy Gill makes the case for Summer Salad Rolls C all them spring rolls, summer rolls, salad rolls, fresh rolls—the common denominator is that we're certain these are the only kind of rolls you'll want this summer. this easy-to-make recipe, bursting with flavour, can be served as a side dish at a sunny barbecue or enjoyed as a full meal on its own. the cost to make rolls at home is a fraction of what you'd pay in a restaurant or grocery store—plus you can add in whatever ingredients you'd like. i choose to order nearly all the items below directly to my doorstep from Vitasave.ca, which has options for free shipping across Canada and a commitment to make healthy living easy and affordable for everyone. it's also vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free. Roll with It serving: 8-10 rolls total time: 30 min » 1 package spring roll rice paper wrappers (found in the Asian section of your local grocery store; go for the option with little to no added sodium) » 1 head romaine lettuce (finely chopped) » 4-5 large rainbow carrots (peeled into thin ribbons) » ¼ cup chia seeds » ¼ cup hemp seeds » ½ cup fresh mint (this completes the flavour) » ½ cup Thai basil (sub cilantro if needed) InSTRUcTIOnS: 1 Take a rice paper and dip it into warm water. Immediately pull it out of the water, letting it drip off for a second before placing it onto a clean surface with a bit of grip (a cutting board works well). 2 Lay carrots side by side in the centre of the rice paper. This is where the colour will come from. 3 Layer lettuce, mint, Thai basil, hemp and chia seeds on top. 4 Pull up the bottom of the rice paper wrapper like you would to wrap a burrito, tucking the sides, and meeting at the top edge. *Tip: use the first roll as an experiment (and the one you eat), seeing as it likely won't be your prettiest! 5 cut in half with a sharp knife and serve with the Lemon Garlic Tahini sauce. serving: 2/3 cup » ½ cup tahini (from raw or roasted sesame seeds) » ¼ cup warm water, plus more as needed » 1 tbsp avocado oil » 1 tbsp Flavorgod, lemon & garlic » Squeeze of lemon, salt & pepper to taste InSTRUcTIOnS: 1 Add tahini, avocado oil, Flavorgod lemon & garlic, and a squeeze of lemon into a small mixing bowl. combine together. 2 Add water a little at a time, continuing to whisk, until you have a creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. 3 If you have any leftover sauce it can be kept in the fridge for 1-2 weeks. It's delicious on salads, falafel, veggie burgers, and much more!
