BLT Summer Rolls with Avocado

BLT Summer Rolls with Avocado Recipe

By Veegs

🔪Prep Time: 15 minutes

👩‍🍳Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

Quick Bacon Crumbles (or 10 oz vegan bacon of your choice)

1 small head romaine lettuce, separated into leaves, each leaf chopped in half widthwise

2 to 3 Roma tomatoes, seeded and thinly sliced lengthwise

1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced, optional

Eight 8-inch sheets rice paper

Avocado Ranch Dressing or Lemon Dill Aïoli

Instructions

1Fill a large bowl with warm water. Make sure you have a clean surface to prepare the rolls on.

2Dip a sheet of rice paper into the water, making sure to get it completely wet but removing it quickly before it gets too soft.

3Lay the paper on the clean surface, then lay a few pieces of lettuce on the center of the paper, going from side to side and leaving about an inch of space around the perimeter.

4Add a few slices of tomato, a few slices of avocado (if using), and a few spoonfuls of the bacon crumbles (or 2 or 3 slices if you’re using a sliced variety).

5Fold the left and right sides of the paper over the filling.

6Take the edge of the paper closest to you and fold it completely over the filling while using your fingers to tuck the filling in. Continue rolling until the roll is sealed.

7Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve immediately with the Avocado Ranch Dressing or Lemon Dill Aïoli.

8These rolls are best enjoyed right after they’re made but will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 or 6 hours.

9For those who aren’t fond of avocado, you can leave it out, and switch out the Avocado Ranch Dressing with a regular vegan ranch dressing, or use the Lemon Dill Aïoli.

10If your family isn’t into summer rolls, just pile all the ingredients between two slices of bread for a sandwich. You won’t get any complaints.

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
