Vegan Summer Rolls with Avocado and Mango make for the most refreshing vegan appetizer. Creamy avocado and lightly sweet and soft mango wrapped up with greens and herbs in silky rice paper wrappers. Gluten Free too.Vegan Summer Rolls with Mango and AvocadoI love looking at restaurant menus. It’s like a hobby of mine.

Seriously. Even if I’m already full and fed, if I’m walking around a city and there is a whole row of restaurants with their menus posted in the window or on a stand, you can be fairly certain that I won’t be able to walk by without stopping and taking a look.

I just love food so much that it’s pretty much always on my mind. And I’m always looking for new recipes ideas and inspiration and what better place to get it from than a tried and tested restaurant menu.

Are ya with me?

This method proves to be even better when I actually get to eat in that restaurant and sample the creations for myself. These vegan mango summer rolls with avocado are the result of that exact experience. During our first night in Costa Rica, D and I decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner out at an Asian fusion restaurant not far from the beach where we were staying.

The first thing that caught my attention on the menu – ginger summer rolls. These were made with mango, avocado, pickled ginger, rice noodles, etc and were phenomenal.

So light.

So fresh.

So appropriate and perfect for the relentless 90 degree Costa Rican heat. There was no doubt in my mind.

These were getting recreated ASAP.

I’ve made summer rolls a bunch of time – from vegan veggie summer rolls to shrimp and cucumber summer rolls they are all equally delicious. Now they do take some time to prepare because you have to prep all the ingredients first – lots of chopping and matchsticking (yea I just made that word up).

And then you need to be fairly patient and coordinated in order to dampen the rice paper wrappers and then roll them up tightly and neatly.

And yes, not to fear some of them will look ugly. Hey you’re not a professional rice paper wrapper roller so no worries.

Once you’re done wrapping and rolling, quickly whisk up the peanut butter creamy dreamy sauce. Your plate of mango summer rolls, a.k.a. your new favorite appetizer, lunch or light dinner, is ready to be served.

Super light, and refreshing these mango summer rolls with avocado are smooth, creamy, nutty, salty, sweet, and just about everything in between.

    I love summer rolls! Mango and avocado sounds so light and refreshing. It’s a combination I’ve used in guacamole, but never in something like this. I’ll have to try it.

    Oh my gosh I thought I was the only one that did that! Food is my passion so I totally get it. I also spend hours in the grocery store (if my son isn’t with me), just checking out new items, reading labels, etc. These mango/avocado summer rolls look SO good. I love both mango and avocado so win win!
