This week, I decided to revisit a wonderfully fresh recipe from the past, healthy summer rolls with spicy mango sauce for dipping. There are two things I love about this recipe. One, is that it is packed full of different veggies. Forget that lone piece of lettuce – these have lettuce, carrot, daikon, bell pepper, and herbs! The second is the unique, fresh, everyone-friendly sauce. Don’t get me wrong, I love peanut sauce, but this is a tasty twist that happens to be naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free, sesame-free, AND peanut-free.

This recipe was originally shared with us over a decade ago as a sample from The Gluten-Free Asian Kitchen, by Laura B. Russell. But I’ve updated it, and have a few additional notes.

By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, nut-free, peanut-free, sesame-free, and optionally soy-free. There are even options for fish-free and shellfish-free!

For vegan and vegetarian summer rolls, use the tofu option and a vegan “fish” sauce. Alternatively, you can use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. For soy-free, skip the tofu, use more veggies, and sub coconut aminos for the fish sauce.
