Asian Cole Slaw Spring Rolls

How about a portable salad recipe? That’s what you get when you fill rice paper wraps with a slaw to make tasty Asian Cole Slaw Spring Rolls!

Asian Cole Slaw Spring Rolls

This is the sort of recipe that comes about after spending a few days with my creative siblings. I was contemplating an Asian coleslaw for this month’s Salad Bar “Potluck” Party…and that’s when my youngest sister, Maddy, suggested incorporating my salad into spring rolls.

And no ordinary spring rolls…these were to have edible flowers perfectly positioned for presentation’s sake. This idea was offered by the sister with the green thumb, huge garden and artistic flair. Yikes. Putting together these Asian Cole Slaw Spring Rolls would be more challenging than I anticipated.

Tips if You’re New to Making Spring Rolls

Thank goodness this newbie spring roll roller had a plethora of rice papers for practice. Did you know they dissolve if you soak them too long? I didn’t. Did you know you can remove the filling and start over with a new wrap? Now I do. This Asian coleslaw was amazing. I suggest you just make a double batch and shovel it in with a fork. If you’re overly ambitious, or a spring roll aficionado, go for the whole shebang. They are gorgeous…and tasty. Did I mention tasty? Yessiree…perfect for your Summer Pot Luck…which happens to be this month’s Salad Bar theme.

I hope you have a picnic, BBQ or potluck to attend…so you can bring one of these marvelous summer salads featured by my fellow Salad Bar bloggers.
