Mango Avocado Summer Rolls
Mango avocado summer rolls are a fresh, no-cook appetizer wrapped in translucent rice paper — light enough for a hot day but packed with enough flavor and texture to feel satisfying. Each roll is filled with ripe mango strips, creamy avocado slices, crisp vegetables, fresh herbs, and thin rice noodles, then dipped in a sweet-savory peanut sauce that pulls the whole thing together.
Rice paper wrappers can be tricky if you haven't used them before, but the technique is simple once you've done a couple. Soak each wrapper in warm water for about 10 seconds — just until it softens and becomes pliable, not until it's fully limp. It will continue softening as you fill it. Lay your fillings in a tight line across the lower third, fold the bottom edge over the fillings, tuck in the sides, and roll forward like a burrito. A snug roll is key — loose rolls fall apart when dipped.
The peanut dipping sauce is a must. Peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and a little warm water whisked together until smooth. These rolls are best eaten within a couple of hours of assembly — the rice paper dries out and gets tough if refrigerated too long.
