Nectarine and Avocado Summer Rolls
1 nectarine, thinly sliced
1 avocado, thinly sliced
1 large handful baby spinach or other salad greens
1 breast of chicken, grilled and thinkly sliced or shredded (or 1 breast of a rotisserie chicken, shredded)
8 fresh Basil leaves
¼ cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons maple syrup
dash each salt and pepper
rice paper wrappers
Make the Almond sauce by mixing together the almond butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and salt and pepper. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large microwave-safe container, heat about 1 quart of water until just about boiling. Soak a rice paper wrapper in the water and then remove from water, place on counter top and layer the (1) Nectarines, (2) avacado, (3) Salad greens (4) Basil and (5) Chicken in the bottom half of the wrapper. Drizzle a generous tablespoon of the sauce over the ingredients and wrap the wrapper, starting from the left and right sides then from the bottom up. (Similar to rolling a burrito). Contunue with another rice paper wrapper. Serves 4.
Serve as an appetizer at a cocktail party or as an entrée alongside jasmine rice cooked in coconut milk. Make these vegetarian by substituting more veggies for the chicken.
