Shopping at the Italian Market can really play tricks on me. I make it a point not to bring a lot of money with me but I still tend to over do it. I got home and had an insane amount of fruit. All super colorful and fresh. I wanted to make a fun snack and this is what I came up with. Its like a fruit filled spring roll. The colors are so great that it makes a great presentation.
Ingredients:
4 Rice Papers
1 Kiwi
1 Banana
1/3 Cup Blue Berries
The first thing is to prepare the fruit. I started by slicing the kiwi into rounds and then each slice in half. The banana I cut in long vertical strips. The berries I kept the same. Next I places one rice paper in warm water for a few seconds to help loosen it up. Then I place the paper flat on the table and on one end I place on piece of the banana across, top it with a layer of kiwi, then a few blue berries. Now just roll it all up tightly and place on a plate. Repeat with remaining fruit. I served with a simple yogurt and peanut butter sauce.
Try using any fun fruit you have on hand. Make sure its colorful and that the textures are various. I think strawberries would be a great addition.
These look so cute – great little appetizer or party food. I’ve never tried rice paper – now I just might!
