Avocado Egg Rolls with Dipping Sauce

Ingredients:

· 2 large avocados, peeled, pitted, & diced

· 4 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped

· 2 tablespoon minced red onion

· 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro, chopped

· ¼ t. salt

· 6 egg roll wraps


Method:

Gently stir together avocado, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and salt. Distribute filling evenly onto center of each egg roll wrapper. Position a wrapper so that a corner is pointing toward you; fold the bottom corner up over the filling.

Fold side corners in and roll toward the top corner. Wet the edges of the top corner with a little water. Then fold top corner over and press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

Continue by deep-frying the egg rolls in 375 degree oil for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Slice egg rolls diagonally across middle and serve with prepared dipping sauce.




Honey Cilantro Dipping Sauce

Ingredients:

· 3-4 teaspoons white vinegar

· 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

· 1/2 cup honey

· 1/2 cup chopped cashews

· 2/3 cup fresh cilantro

· 2 garlic cloves

· 2 green onions

· 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

· 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

· 1 teaspoon ground cumin

· 1/4 cup olive oil

Method:
To make dipping sauce, use a blender or food processor to puree all listed ingredients except olive oil. Blend until well pureed. Then stream in olive oil. Refrigerate until ready to use.

My Notes:  I LOVE THESE!!  I am not a big fan of egg rolls, but these are GREAT!   My mom gave me the recipe.  In the picture I have the dipping sauce on the egg roll, but you can just use it as a dipping sauce also.
