Pretty as a picture: it’s a wrap! Delicious, healthy and gluten- and dairy-free, fruit rice paper wraps are the perfect summertime snack. Pretty as a picture, they are easy to make with endless variations. To prepare the wraps, pour boiling water into a shallow bowl, dip a wrapper in the water for 15-20 seconds, then place on a board. Arrange thinly
sliced fruit down the centre – this will be what you see through the wrapper so arrange it as prettily as you can. Top with chopped fruit and roll up like a burrito. Ripe, bright fruits such as kiwifruit, strawberries, pineapple, peaches and apricots work well, and be creative with added ingredients.
Some of our favourite fillings include: MINTY Tuck a mint leaf into each one for a pretty pop of freshness SWEET & STICKY Add some sweet sticky rice or coconut for a more substantial snack. CRUNCHY MUNCH Include a sprinkle of toasted muesli or some lightly toasted seeds or chopped nuts before rolling.
