Fun Twist
Serve it layered in a jar for a portable rainbow salad-to-go!
Are you feeling inspired for more?
Try this rainbow of fresh vegetables, mango slices, and herbs tucked inside delicate rice paper wraps.
Slice all the filling ingredients into thin strips.
Dip a rice paper sheet in warm water for 10-15 seconds until soft.
Lay it flat, add the fillings, and gently roll it up like a mini burrito.
Whisk together the sauce ingredients of choice.
Dip, crunch, and enjoy your edible
rainbow!
Fun Twist
For an extra pop of whimsy, color your rice paper naturally with food powders such as butterfly pea flower or beet powder to color the rice paper
wraps!
Butterfly pea powder turns it blue, beet juice makes it pink! How fun is that?!
