Fresh Spring Rolls

Delicious, fresh spring rolls make summer entertaining so simple.

When it comes to entertaining, it’s essential to land on an item that can feed lots of different palates with not lots of extra work. Enter, the fresh spring roll. It’s gluten free. It can be easily modified for vegans or carnivores. It’s pretty and your kids can help you make them. Versatile, fresh, healthy and no need to turn on the oven!

This pairs well with Grüner Veltliner or Sauvignon Blanc.

Happy summer everyone. It’s almost here!

Adios,
