Garlic Chicken Spring Rolls

Spring into Fresh Flavors

Move over crock pot, Spring is officially here! It’s that time of year when fresh produce seems more crisp, vibrant and flavorful.  The vegetable section is overflowing with a variety of colorful and tasty options. The temptation to stock your refrigerator with countless vegetables can be impossible to overcome. By the middle of the week, you may be scrambling to deplete your produce supply before it spoils. We have a few ways you can put those veggies to good use:

1. Make kale chips for a healthy snack packed with potassium, calcium and fiber.

2. Create a stir-fry with broccoli and fresh ginger for an easy dinner filled with vitamin C and anti-inflammatory nutrients.

3. Roast carrots and sweet potatoes for a delicious side dish that is full of vitamin A, which promotes healthy teeth, tissues and vision.

4. Assemble homemade spring rolls using your favorite vegetables and choice of protein. Follow the recipe below for a healthier version of a takeout favorite.
