Fresh Spring Rolls
These Fresh Spring Rolls are a light and tasty snack for any occasion. I love the crunchy veggies, the cold noodles, and the flavorful herbs. They are fun to make because depending on what ingredients you have on hand, they can be a little different each time. Even my kids love to help me roll these up!

Peanut Dipping Sauce
This dipping sauce is so good, I could literally eat it with a spoon. It also makes these fresh spring rolls 100x better. It comes together so quickly and you likely have a lot of the ingredients on hand. You make the sauce with peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, garlic, sriracha, water, and also chopped peanuts. Add everything to a bowl and then whisk everything together and you are good to go! If you make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap until you are ready to serve. When you take it out of the fridge, you may have to water it down. Stir it will and then use a little bit of milk, water, fresh lime juice, or hoisin sauce to thin it out to the right consistency.
