\"Winter<\/p>\n

These. freaking. SALAD ROLLS!!! I'm actually vv excited to share these with you guys. I guess I should be vv (as in, very very) excited to share all<\/em> things with you, but tbh: blogging gets tiring. Blogging and working a demanding day job gets tiring. Blogging about food when you struggle to find balance between health and enjoyment -\u00a0IT'S DEMANDING! I realize this is all pretty first world problem-ish (oh poor me, what kind of food should I CHOOSE to blog about?<\/em>), so let's just nip that right now: I'm really grateful to be able to blog about whatever kind of food I want. But creative burnout is a thing. And I think I've been suffering from it lately (like ... the last 1.5 years at least).<\/p>\n

\"Winter<\/p>\n

But guess what? I dreamed these babies up recently (maybe 4 days a week at work is letting my creative juices flow again!) and was SO PSYCHED about them. So then I took my sweet time preparing the rainbow of veg, chatted on the phone while rolling all of these salad rolls up, and DEVOURED THEM in my kitchen, alone, spooning heaps of homemade spicy peanut sauce<\/a> onto them. It was awesome.<\/p>\n

In reality, these really aren't that different from normal salad rolls. They have some of the typical culprits: carrots, cabbage, cilantro (and\/or mint, and\/or basil). But I added grated brussels sprouts and roasted delicata, which are some of my winter staples, as well as watermelon radishes BECAUSE HELLO THEY ARE SO PRETTY. I'm not sure they count as a winter veg (but, they do grow pretty easily in colder weather??), but here they are. Also tofu. Tofu is not a veg at all, but fills you up and adds protein and good texture and all that jazz. Can peanut sauce be considered a winter veg? It certainly has been in my diet lately! If you saw my IG stories last night (lord help us all) you'll know I have nooooo<\/em> shame in putting peanut sauce on literally anything. Toast\/eggs\/PEANUT SAUCE. Most of you thought that was a complete abomination, but let me tell you: it's delicious. No shame.<\/p>\n

\"Winter<\/p>\n

So let's hear from you guys (comments, helloooo): what would you put in your<\/em> dreamy winter vegetable salad roll situation? That's the best part of salad rolls (besides the peanut sauce): you can put whatever you want in them!! The only other version I have on this site, from YEAAARS ago, has grilled peaches in them. Totes summer salad rolls.<\/p>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>
