Spring Rolls

These spring rolls are packed with shrimp and colorful veggies. They’re fun to make and an easy way to get kids involved. Paired with a bright and refreshing dipping sauce, you could enjoy as a main dish or as an appetizer.

For our filling, we took a short cut and used a Chipotle and Cheddar salad kit. Salad kits come ready to eat and in many varieties which could make preparing spring rolls an adventure. Which flavor will you choose?
