Smoked Salmon, Avocado and Mango Fresh Rolls
Fresh rolls are delicious and healthy. Did I mention they also look super impressive with minimal effort required? Bonus!
Whether you are entertaining or just need a quick meal idea, fresh rolls are a simple option that can be easily accustomed to appease any palette or that particularly picky eater! Do you have leftover veggies in the fridge? A rotisserie chicken? I like to keep a roasted chicken from the deli in the fridge for snacking on. Those pre-roasted rotisserie chickens can be awesome! Just carve it up and use it in a fresh roll to put an exciting spin on leftovers!

Sometimes I want to confront “Keen-wah” because on occasion, she tends to come across as a little pretentious and quite honestly needs to lose the attitude problem already!

It is easy and quick to cook and has more nutritional value than wheat-grains.
