ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING AS CAN BE!
Cannot believe these are SO healthy!
Used radish as local store ran out of daikon on the day!
WOW is what I CAN say!
Put them together 1 hour before the party did start, TRUE!
Let me tell you, NONE were left....gobbled pretty quickly too!
Made two dipping sauces, BOTH were GREAT!
This recipe really is first rate

I made this for my girlfrinds and followed the instructions precisely. The cucumber mix was very soggy and I had to squeeze the moisture out of it before rolling them. I don't think I'd let them chill as long next time. Maybe even just stir in the sauces for flavor and drain immediately. The taste, however, was very good and I do plan on making these again. Thanks.

What beats a really great spring roll? I love how easy these are! I left out the cilantro and the jalapeño. Served with peanut dipping sauce. Yum!
