Vegetable Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce

These healthy vegan Vegetable Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce are served with a rich savory peanut sauce.

One of my favorite go-to meals is spring rolls. I like to make these Vegetable Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce with avocado, cucumber, carrots, mint and cilantro. If I am out of those ingredients, or if I want more protein I make my Tofu Spring Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce. I made the dipping sauce different for each recipe. In this peanut sauce I used sweet chili sauce, sriracha, peanut butter, tamari, and lime juice. I have made it several different ways, so you will see other peanut sauces in the future. Any sauce with peanut butter and spices, and I am there. This makes a great appetizer or light lunch. It is a quick meal to make. You may want to double the peanut sauce, especially if you are a sauce lover like me!
