Christmas Recipes

The holiday season is a crazy time that often involves jumping from holiday party to holiday dinner one after another. As a result, having a few key Christmas recipes ready to bring or serve is a must. However, your Christmas recipes don’t always have to be the same combination of “classic” Christmas foods, you can change it up and bring something unique and different too!

Christmas Appetizer Recipes

Vegan spring rolls

Ingredients:

• 5 rice sheets for spring rolls
• 160 grams of Fish Free Tuna
• CleanFoods Skinny Mayonnaise
• 1 bell pepper
• half a cucumber
• half a red onion
• pepper and salt

Instructions:

1. Cut the bell pepper and cucumber into thin strips and the red onion into small pieces. 
2. Mix the red onion in a small bowl with the Fish Free Tuna, three tablespoons Skinny Mayonnaise and a pinch of pepper and salt.
3. Very carefully, take a rice sheet out of the package. Place this on a plate and sprinkle with water so that the rice sheet softens and you can roll it.
4. Make a vertical line on the side of the round rice sheet with the tuna salad. Make sure this filing is no wider than 2 centimeters, otherwise you will not get the rice sheet rolled up. Place the bell pepper and cucumber strips on the tuna salad.
5. Roll the rice sheet from the side where the tuna salad is. Roll it up tight to the end, you will see that the rice sheet will stick on its own. 
6. Cut the rice rolls in half, so that you can see the different colors nicely. 

Tip: serve the CleanFoods Skinny Teriyaki sauce as a dipping sauce with these spring rolls.
