Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Rice Paper Wrappers: These delicate wrappers can be found in Asian markets; they’re key for holding everything together.
- Cucumber: Choose firm cucumbers for crunch; slice them thinly to fit perfectly in each roll.
- Red Bell Pepper: Sweet and crisp, this vegetable adds color and flavor; julienne for best results.
- Carrots: Grate or julienne them; they add a delightful crunch and sweetness to each bite.
- Avocado: Ripe but not overly soft avocados provide creaminess that complements the other fresh ingredients. For more inspiration, check out this strawberry spinach salad recipe.
- Fresh Herbs (Mint & Cilantro): Use these herbs generously for an aromatic lift that brightens up each roll.
For the Peanut Sauce:
- Peanut Butter: Use creamy natural peanut butter for a smooth consistency that blends easily with other ingredients. For more inspiration, check out this garlic butter green beans recipe.
- Soy Sauce: Opt for low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness while enhancing flavors beautifully.
- Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice adds tanginess, balancing out the richness of peanut butter perfectly.
- Honey or Maple Syrup: Just a drizzle sweetens the sauce; adjust according to taste preferences.
- Water: This helps thin out the sauce for easier dipping; adjust based on desired thickness.

Let’s Make it Together
Start by preparing all your ingredients. Wash and slice the veggies into thin strips or matchsticks so they’ll fit neatly into each roll. This is where you can get creative; feel free to add any veggies you love!
Soak a rice paper wrapper in warm water for about 10 seconds until it becomes pliable but not too soft. Lay it flat on a clean surface ready for rolling. The fun part begins here!
Place a small handful of your prepared vegetables in the center, leaving some space on both sides for folding. Don’t overstuff; we don’t want any veggie explosions during rolling—trust me on this one!
Fold in both sides gently and then roll from bottom to top like you’re tucking in your favorite blanket. Make sure it’s snug but not too tight because nobody wants a rupture on their beautiful roll-up.
To make your peanut sauce, mix together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), and water in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed—my secret? A dash more lime juice always does wonders!
Serve these colorful rolls immediately with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping—watch as everyone dives into this fresh culinary delight!
Enjoy these Detox Rainbow Roll-Ups with Peanut Sauce any day of the week! They are perfect as an appetizer or even as light lunch fare. Your friends will be asking how you made them look so good—and taste even better!
