Roll your raw summer rolls with romaine salad leaves, put in some fresh vegetables and sprouts and make a sauce with peanut butter, tahini and sesame oil. Oh, so fresh and crunchy!
- romaine salad, or any other desired salad
- carrots
- celery
- avocado
- sprouts
- watercress
Try also cucumber, bell pepper, spring onion, parsley, basil, mint, beans, lentils or feta cheese!
THE SAUCE:
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp of tahini (a paste made from sesame seeds)
- 5 tbsp of sesame oil
- 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp of Tamari soy sauce
- ½ – 1 clove of garlic
- juice of half a lime
Prepare the sauce by mixing the ingredients into a smooth paste with a spoon. Crush the garlic and stir.
Place a lettuce leaf or two to make a base. Spread the sauce you made all over the lettuce leaf. Grate the carrot or cut it into thin sticks. Cut the celery into long narrow sticks. Do the same with the avocado. Arrange celery, grated carrots and avocado on the other side of the salad leaf. Add the sprouts and herbs. Close the wraps by rolling. The paste on the salad should keep the rolls together. Serve and enjoy fresh!

Delicious. I've just discovered your site and I'll certainly be back. So beautiful.
thank you so much heather! welcome back anytime! :)
This makes no sense on every level: first off how do you roll up romaine? second - you can't obviously roll up the crunchy part and that's the only thing worthwhile about romaine; third: Thai lettuce rolls/wraps don't resemble this at all - the closest this comes is the vegetables wrapped in rice paper - get it rice "paper" as in something which actually is meant to wrap stuff unlike say a romaine leaf; fourth: why go to all the trouble to make this which won't work - just make a salad rnI suspect the writer though of something that would make a nice photo - cute bright green rolls - without thinking of what a moronic culinary idea it is
I love your blog and I love anything wrapped in lettuce leaves!! Thanks for sharing and your photos are gorgeous
