Spring Rolls! Ingredients: Rice Paper "Julienned" Veggies Low Calorie sesame ginger soy dressing (or any low-calorie dressing you like) You can purchase this rice paper from just about anywhere. I find that the smaller pieces are better, not only because you get two sheets (which means two rolls) for 45 calories, they're also easier to wrap, and eat. The filling can be any type of veggie you would like. I like to use my Julienne Peeler (a must have!) to grate up some carrots, cabbage, zucchini, and whatever else I have hanging around. Also, most grocery stores will offer pre-cut veggies of this consistency. Veggies are "free" of points, so you can really eat away. I do tend to start counting them as 1 point/cup if I have more than 1 cup. Fill your sink or a large plate with hot water. Place the rice paper in the water until it is soft. Remove (CAREFULLY) and place on a clean cloth/small towel. Fill the middle with all your veggies. For folding these, I tend to start from the bottom, fold over once, then fold both sides ( as tight as you can) and finally roll together. The rice paper is quite sticky so will stick itself together. As for the veggies inside, you could really add whatever you like, if you want to use some Tofu Noodles (discussed in the blog) that would work as well with the veggies. This option is just the lowest calorie. As for the dip, I would choose something asian inspired, and low calorie, such as my favourite, trader joes sesame ginger soy dressing (25 calories per tbsp) Also, presidents choice makes a great low calorie low fat peanut sauce, which I usually dilute with a bit of vinegar :) Dip, and enjoy!
