Even though it's not officially Spring, it was in the 50s and 60s this week. I decided I wanted to make a recipe with bright and fresh flavors. I have to say that these vegetarian summer rolls definitely did the trick. These are also known as Vietnamese spring rolls. They are filled with crispy air fryer tofu, carrots, cabbage, cilantro and avocado. Oh! Let's not forget about the addictive peanut dipping sauce.
