Caprese Summer Rolls

Sweet & Savory Fruity Caprese Summer Rolls – Fun Summer Roll Ideas!

Turn your favorite summer salad into a fresh caprese summer roll! And, for a fun twist, I’ve taken the classic caprese salad to a new level with creamy avocado and sweet strawberry slices. Wrapped in rice paper with balsamic and olive oil for dipping, you’ve got a tasty finger-food salad!

Of course, I’m a huge fan of the sweet and savory flavor pairing. Plus, since you don’t need to heat your caprese summer rolls before eating, they’re an awesome on-the-go lunch to pack for work or school! A wholesome vegetarian lunch idea, or an easy no cook snack you can throw together in minutes.

Personally, I love the change of pace from classic sandwiches and wraps. Or, if you’re trying to cut down on carbs in your diet, these caprese summer rolls can be a better option. Since they’re wrapped in rice paper sheets, they’re far lower in carbs than traditional bread and tortillas!
