The only bad thing about gorgeous, summer weather? It can crush your appetite. There’s nothing like a little heat to make every kind of food sound unappealing. These delicious summer rolls from Lina Saber are perfect for when you just can’t figure out what to eat. They’re hydrating, and they make a great light summery lunch or snack. Plus, they’re loaded with fruit fuel, nutrients, and phytochemicals to protect a surfer’s skin from the sun.

-12 rice paper wraps
For the filling:
-1 big mango, sliced
-1 big avocado, sliced

Directions
I mean, how good do these look?! Photo: Lina Saber @bysaber.
-Prepare your fruits and veggies: shred, slice and chop as you like. Feel free to add any fruits or veggies you like.
-Let the rice cool, before using.
-To make the wraps, fill a large bowl with hot water (not boiled) and completely dip your rice paper for 15 secs, until slightly soft. Remove it carefully and place on a dry surface (marble/ glass surface works better than wood).
-Arrange your rice in the center and directly in front of it, arrange your fruits as you desire. (Get creative)
-Roll it up, like a sushi roll or burrito, sealing the sides tightly. When done rolling, She recommend letting it sit for a bit, so the rice paper dries. She finds it tastes better.
-Dip in sauce of choice! She used, Stonewall Kitchen’s Cranberry Ginger Sauce. Enjoy!
