Instructions

  1. 1 Soak a rice paper wrapper in cold water just until it becomes flexible, 1 minute or less. Place on a slightly damp towel. Place some baby greens near the bottom of the round. Top with strips of chicken and pepper, leaving about a 1-inch margin on the sides. Roll tightly just until the bottom edge meets the center of the paper and sticks there. Then continue to add more chicken strips and vegetable strips. Finish with torn pieces of herbs. Complete the roll, pressing the ingredients to keep roll tight and tucking in the sides.
  2. 2 Transfer completed rolls to a plate lined with damp paper towels. Cover each roll with damp papers towels as you work to prevent them from drying out; don't let the rolls touch each other or they will stick together.

  1. 1 Shred crabmeat using 2 forks or a food processor.
  2. 2 Combine crabmeat, mayonnaise, and Sriracha sauce in a small bowl.
  3. 3 Add 2 inches hot water to a shallow bowl. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper into water to soften, about 3 seconds; transfer to a wooden cutting board or a clean, moist dish towel. Layer 1/4 each carrot, green onion, avocado, cucumber, and crabmeat mixture on bottom third of rice paper.
  4. 4 Pull bottom of rice paper over filling; fold sides of wrapper in, using your fingers to prevent filling from spilling out sides. Continue rolling tightly to enclose filling.

Instructions

  1. 1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the peaches and cook uncovered until peel starts to come away, about 1 minute. Immediately immerse peaches in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the peaches are cold remove from ice water; peel and discard peach skins and cut peaches into wedges.
  2. 2 Bring water, rice, cream of coconut, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover saucepan and cool rice completely.
  3. 3 Gently rinse rice paper wrapper until cool water and lay on a flat work surface. Spoon 2 tablespoons cooked rice in a line slightly off-center on the wrapper. Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons of plum preserves over the rice. Spread a layer of strawberry slices atop the preserves, a layer of peaches atop the strawberries, a layer of orange sections atop the peaches, a layer of grapefruit atop the oranges, and fresh mint leaves atop the grapefruit. Fold opposing edges of the wrapper to overlap the filling. Roll 1 of the opposing edges around the filling into a burrito shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers, rice, and fruit. Cut rolls in half and serve with yogurt for dipping.

Instructions

  1. 1 Make dipping sauce: Combine mango, ginger, chili sauce, rice vinegar, and lime juice in a blender and blend until smooth. Add basil and cilantro and pulse until chopped. Pour into a small bowl, then cover and place in the refrigerator until serving.
  2. 2 Make spring rolls: Squeeze a little lime juice over avocado slices. Create an assembly line of vegetables and herbs, so that they are all ready to go.
  3. 3 Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Add rice paper sheet to warm water, one at a time, and let soak for 5 to 10 seconds. Remove and place on a flat surface. Toward one end of rice wrapper, begin layering with 1 to 2 avocado slices, small handfuls of fresh cilantro and mint, and a handful of veggies. Sprinkle veggies with salt and pepper. Fold both ends to the center and roll sheet as tightly as possible without ripping. Place each prepared spring roll on a serving platter and cover with Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil to keep spring rolls from drying out. Continue with remaining ingredients, adding them to the platter as you work. Keep the spring rolls covered with foil at all times.
  4. 4 Serve spring rolls with mango dipping sauce and chopped peanuts.
