BLT Summer Rolls

By Stina

We use rice paper (spring roll) wrappers for this, you can find them in the Asian or international section of your grocery store or at Asian markets. We've added a bright and spicy mayo to these, but if you would prefer, use regular mayonnaise instead. The rolls will still be delicious!

You can make these up to 3 hours ahead of time. Cover rolls with a damp paper towel or clean dishcloth.

Preparation

Step 1

Method
If making your own lime mayonnaise, combine mayonnaise, lime juice and 1 teaspoon of chili sauce. Taste for spiciness then add more chili sauce if needed. Season with salt. Store covered in refrigerator and keep up to a week.
Dip a rice paper into a plate of warm water for 5-10 seconds; shake off excess water and place on a clean kitchen towel or cutting board. Stack shredded or baby lettuce leaves on the lower third of the rice paper. Add tomatoes then a strip of bacon. Spread about 2 teaspoons of lime mayonnaise then top with some more lettuce.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper up over the lettuce, tomato and bacon. Fold in the sides, then roll up. Repeat with remaining ingredients. If one of the wrappers rips, carefully overlap the two edges then continue to assemble the roll.
