Hello My Dearest Foodies,
I decided to make these delicious Spring Rolls to welcome the spring this week, although the temperature is still below zero. The good thing is that we have some sun and there is a sense of spring in the air.

I am sure you are all familiar with spring rolls and most of you love them, because what’s not to love? They are crunchy and flavorful and you can choose your favorite ingredients to make them. In this case, I decided to use cantaloupe because I had those cantaloupe bowls from my previous recipe. I made smoothie with most of it, but I got an idea to try it for spring rolls in combination with mango, basil and other healthy ingredients. I really love how they turned out and I hope you will like them too.
I am also using Spinach Vermicelli and they are slightly green as you may noticed, however you can just use regular.
