Easy, Delicious, Cool

It’s been unseasonably warm here in Dallas the last couple weeks, and if this is any preview of summer, we are in for a hot one! When it gets like this, I double down on my favorite cool, crisp foods that chase away the heat. And these Fresh Summer Rolls don’t require heating up the kitchen, which I’m sure you can appreciate. The perfect snack for a hot afternoon or as an appetizer to impress your family and friends. They really deliver on flavor and a texture that is so satisfying!

And so colorful! I love them as much for their presentation as for their flavor. It’s like eating a rainbow. They’s so easy to make, too! The peanut sauce is a breeze. And the summer rolls? Just prep your fillings and wrap ’em up in rice paper. I can’t wait for you to try these. You’ll be hooked.

The surprise sweetness of mango really makes these summer rolls a treat. The combination of fresh herbs, crisp veggies like bell pepper, cucumber, carrots, cabbage and lettuce with soft avocado isn’t too shabby either! And the peanut dipping sauce! There’s just so much to love about this summer roll recipe.

How to Make Fresh Summer Rolls

To make the peanut dipping sauce: Whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of warm water at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Set aside.

To make the summer rolls: First, pour warm water into an 8-inch square baking dish. Working one at a time, wet a rice paper wrapper for 20-25 seconds and then transfer to a work surface like a cutting board.

Place a lettuce leaf, a few basil leaves, some mint and cilantro in the center of the wrapper. Top with a few carrots, a little cabbage, a few red bell pepper, cucumber, avocado and mango slices.

Bring the bottom edge of the wrap tightly over the filling and then folding in the sides, rolling from bottom to top until the top of the wrapper is reached, being careful not to tear the rice paper. Cover with a damp paper towel while you repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling. Store in the refrigerator or serve immediately with the peanut sauce.

We can't get enough of this One-Ingredient Banana We can't get enough of this One-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream! 🍌🍦 It may be 100+ degrees here in Dallas, but we're staying cool and content with this naturally sweet treat. Simply slice and freeze any extra-ripe bananas you have on hand, blend in a food processor, and enjoy all summer long! 🤗 #TheBakerMama

Ingredient:
6 very ripe bananas

Instructions:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the bananas into 1/2-inch slices and lay flat on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 1 and 1/2 hours.
2. Remove frozen bananas from the freezer and let set out for about 5 minutes while you set up your food processor or blender. You want the bananas to soften just a bit, but still be frozen.
3. Place the bananas in the food processor and pulse/blend until smooth and creamy. Serve and ENJOY!
 
Notes:
It has a soft serve consistency when you first make it which is so yummy. If you want a more scoopable consistency, freeze it in a freezer-safe container for at least 2 hours. It freezes well for up to 3 months. Just let it set out of the freezer for about 5 minutes to soften a bit before scooping.
Don't worry, brie happy! 😜 If you liked my reci Don't worry, brie happy! 😜 If you liked my recipe for grilled brie with strawberries, you'll LOVE this version made with grilled peaches, pesto, and basil. A fresh summer appetizer that everyone enjoys and it's SO easy to make! 🧀🍑 #TheBakerMama

Ingredients:

1 (8 ounce) wheel soft-ripened brie cheese

3. Slice the baguette into ¼ inch thick slices.
4. Place baguette slices, peaches (cut side up) and brie wheel on a baking sheet and brush the tops of everything with olive oil.

6. Grill until you have beautiful grill marks and then flip the brie and baguette slices.
