Spring rolls are a perfect light lunch or dinner option for sunny and warm spring days. They are easy to prepare and not fried and heavy like egg rolls. Fresh spring vegetables and herbs can be stuffed inside and accompanied with a sweet or spicy dipping sauce. Spring rolls also make excellent appetizers for a cocktail party or outdoor summer barbecue.
