Cabbage spring rolls.

This winter students celebrated January’s Harvest of the Month, cabbage, by making cabbage spring rolls.  The students loved soaking rice paper and wrapping the ingredients together.  Students used grated carrots, sliced cabbage, chopped mint, cooked rice noodles and diced avocados to make this tasty treat.  Student’s also dipped the spring rolls in sunflower butter sauce (peanut sauce can also be substituted).
