Who told you there’s no such thing as finger-food salad? Here, tabbouleh – a Mediterranean salad made with whole-food ingredients – is tucked neatly into summer rolls for a unique twist on these classic Asian hand-helds. Bulgur, a nutty, ancient grain full of fiber and protein, is mixed with veggies and fresh mint, then rolled in delicate rice paper. Use your favorite Greek dressing or tzatziki sauce as a dip, and enjoy this dish as an appetizer, side dish or light lunch.
