Prep Time

Ingredients
- 1 can of flaked light tuna
- 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 2 green onions
- 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
- leaf lettuce
- red or orange pepper, cut into thin strips
- cucumber, cut into thin strips
- Blue Dragon Spring Roll Wrappers
Instructions
- I wrote out the recipe I used above, but go ahead and prepare the tuna the way you like it best. If you usually dice up some celery, do that, if you prefer different spices, add those. Go ahead and make it your own. I make my tuna a little different each time and keep it simple in this recipe. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
- Spring roll wrappers can be a bit finicky to work with until you get used to handling them. The easiest way is to work with one wrapper at a time, and while holding it with both hands, run it under warm tap water until the wrapper becomes soft and pliable. The water doesn’t have to be hot, warm will be fine and it only takes a few seconds for the wrapper to be ready. Once soft, carefully place the wrapper on a flat workspace.
- To fill, start with a piece of leaf lettuce to create a bed on the lower portion of the wrap. Then spoon on top a row of tuna and lastly, place the cucumbers and peppers on top. If you have other veggies you prefer, feel free to sub those in.
- To fold the spring rolls, carefully pull the left and right sides over on top of the filling, then lift the bottom and roll up. Use a bit of water on your finger to rub the roll to make a seal when complete.
