Tofu Summer Rolls

Light, refreshing, and packed with plant-based protein, these Tofu Summer Rolls are the perfect combination of crisp vegetables, creamy avocado, and satisfying tofu—all wrapped up in delicate rice paper. Paired with a rich and tangy (vegan) Caesar dressing, they’re an elegant appetizer, a healthy lunch, or a portable snack that’s bursting with flavor and nutrients.

What makes them truly special is how the textures and flavors play together: the crunch of romaine, the smoothness of avocado, and the savory depth of tofu and vegan Parmesan—all complemented by a creamy, umami-packed Caesar sauce. They’re fun to make, easy to customize, and naturally gluten-free.

Benefits of Each Ingredient

Firm Tofu
A plant-based protein powerhouse, tofu provides essential amino acids, supports muscle repair, and keeps you full and satisfied. It’s also rich in calcium and iron, which are important for bone and blood health.

Coconut Oil
Adds a subtle creaminess and helps lightly pan-fry the tofu if desired. It contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that can provide a quick energy boost.

Romaine Lettuce Leaves
Crisp and hydrating, romaine delivers fibre, vitamin A, vitamin K, and folate, supporting digestion, eye health, and overall immunity.

Avocado
Creamy and nutrient-dense, avocado offers heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fibre, potassium, and antioxidants that promote skin, heart, and digestive health.

Vegan or normal Parmesan Cheese
Adds umami and depth of flavor while providing a little extra protein and calcium, making the rolls more satisfying and tasty.

Vegan or normal Caesar Salad Dressing
Rich, tangy, and flavorful, the vegan Caesar dressing enhances the taste and provides healthy fats if made with plant oils or nuts, helping your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins from the vegetables.

Rice Paper Wrappers
Light and gluten-free, these wrappers hold everything together without added calories or processed ingredients, making the rolls easy to enjoy without heaviness.
