Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 2 whole chicken breasts
Tear cooked (poached) chicken breasts into longer pieces rather than cubing, so they stay in the roll.
  • finely diced red onion
  • thinly sliced celery
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • salt
  • cayenne pepper
  • smoked paprika
  • ground cumin
  • mayo
Add finely diced red onion and thinly sliced celery; season with black pepper, salt, cayenne, and optionally smoked paprika and ground cumin; mix in mayo to taste.
  • rice paper wrappers
Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
Soak a rice paper wrapper in cold water until it just starts to get flexible; shake off the excess and lay it down damp.
  • perfectly ripe avocado
  • orange and red baby bell
  • English cucumber
  • carrot
  • ¼ cup chicken salad
  • finely sliced romaine
About a third in from the edge, lay a couple slices of avocado and strips of bell pepper, cucumber and carrot; add about a quarter cup chicken salad and half a handful of sliced romaine.
Roll up tightly, tucking in the ends; with the small wrappers, soak a second one and roll the roll in it, stretching it tighter.
To make ahead, keep on a plate with a barely damp paper towel draped over and covered with plastic, separated so they do not stick; they hold overnight.
Storing and eating summer rolls
Serve with lemon and herb aioli.
