A classic and great for hot days when you’d rather not heat up the oven. With this Spring Roll Recipe with Ginger Dipping Sauce, you get a satisfying, refreshing meal that can be customized to whatever you’re in the mood for—or whatever the produce aisles are full of that season.
The real work for this recipe comes down to the prepping. Before we start working with the rice paper wrappers, we need to clean and chop all of our desired fillings.
For this one, I went with a mix of fresh vegetables, some fruit for a pop of sweetness, rice noodles, and a little garnish to top the outside—not just for the aesthetic, but for some added protein and crunch. These are seriously tasty. Paired with the zingy, ginger dipping sauce, you’ll be craving every bite.
So get to chopping and build up that appetite. They're so worth it!

A Spring Roll Recipe Perfect for Garden Parties
Hosting something outdoors? These spring rolls make the perfect garden party bite.

They're light enough for warm afternoons and elegant enough to dress up any table.
Light Spring Rolls for a Baby Shower Spread
Planning a baby shower menu? These spring rolls are a sweet spot between healthy and pretty. You can customize the filling colors to match a theme (mellow yellow mango or purple cabbage), and they’re an easy grab-and-go snack that won’t weigh guests down before cake.
Poolside Appetizer That’s Light and Handheld
When it’s hot out, no one wants a heavy dish. These spring rolls are cool, hydrating, and super easy to serve poolside. Handheld and mess-free, they’re perfect for lounging and grazing, especially when dipped in that zingy ginger dip.
How I Use Rice Paper Wrappers (It’s Easier Than You Think)
Just dip each sheet in warm water for a few seconds, not too long, and lay it flat on a clean surface. I let it sit for a bit to soften up before adding my fillings and rolling it up. It’s one of those things that feels tricky at first but once you do a few, you totally get the hang of it.
Storage
Once they’re rolled, I like to wrap each one in a little plastic wrap or parchment so they don’t stick together. Then I pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’re best the same day, but you can keep them fresh for about 1 to 2 days if stored this way. Just keep the dipping sauce separate until you’re ready to eat.

Instructions
Spring Roll Instructions
- Wash and prep all fruits and vegetables. Slice them into thin, even strips.
- Rinse and tear any lettuce or greens into roll-sized pieces.
- Cook rice noodles according to package directions, then drain and let cool.
- Slice avocado just before rolling to keep it fresh and vibrant.
- Once your fillings are prepped, take a dry rice paper wrapper and gently wet it with warm water just until it starts to soften. Place it on a clean surface and get ready to start the filling process.
- First place the sliced Strawberries on the top inside of the roll first and proceed with the rest of your fillings. Be careful not to overfill or it will be more difficult to roll. For reach ingredient think like 3-5 thin slices per ingredient.
- After it is filled, roll the wrapper as you would a burrito, tucking in the sides and rolling completely so that there is a seal to close it up.
- Repeat for the remaining spring rolls. Wet the exterior top of the roll and add some sunflower seeds for a crunchy topping.
Ginger Dipping Sauce
- Add all the dip ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little extra vegetable oil or a splash of water until it’s just right.
