Chicken Salad Summer Rolls!

Chicken Salad Summer Rolls!

This is from Chef John, one of my favorite online chefs. We made this tonight and it is PERFECT hot summer day meal. We air fried a package of chicken tenderloins with a partisan garlic seasoning, 15 minutes at 400°, and then put them in the fridge to cool for about 30 minutes.

For the Chicken Salad:
½ pound shredded cooked chicken
2 tablespoons minced red onion
¼ cup thinly sliced celery
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ cup mayonnaise (we used avocado oil mayo, about 1/8 cup)

For the Rolls:

6 small rice paper sheets
12 slices ripe avocado
½ cup thinly sliced red bell pepper strips
½ medium English cucumber, cut into strips
½ cup julienned carrot
2 cups chopped hearts of romaine lettuce

For the Optional Dipping Sauce:
⅓ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 teaspoons finely sliced fresh basil
1 clove garlic, crushed
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

The result was a fun, cool, flavor packed and healthy meal. I have seen this served with hummus as well.
