For the best flavor, use high-quality mayonnaise and fresh herbs. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences and what's in season. Other great additions include bean sprouts, mint leaves, or shredded cabbage. The chicken salad can be made a day in advance to save time. To prevent the rice paper from sticking, ensure your work surface is clean and slightly damp. These summer rolls are best enjoyed soon after they are made, as the rice paper can become sticky over time.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, minced red onion, celery, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, and mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly until well blended. (5 minutes)
02
StepCover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)
03
StepPrepare your workstation with a shallow dish of cold water, a clean work surface (such as a cutting board), and all your vegetables ready for assembly.
04
StepWorking with one rice paper sheet at a time, dip it into the cold water for a few seconds until it becomes pliable. Be careful not to oversoak, as it will become too sticky and difficult to work with. (2 minutes)
05
StepLay the softened rice paper on your work surface. Place 2 slices of avocado in the center, about 1 inch from the edge closest to you. Layer with bell pepper, cucumber, and carrot strips. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chilled chicken salad over the vegetables, and top with chopped romaine lettuce. (5 minutes)
06
StepTo roll, grab the edge of the rice paper closest to you and gently roll it over the filling, tucking in the sides as you go. Keep the roll tight and even as you proceed. (3 minutes)
07
StepFor extra security, wet a second rice paper sheet and wrap it around the first roll. This will prevent the roll from drying out and provide a better texture. (2 minutes)
08
StepWrap each summer roll in barely damp paper towels and cover with plastic wrap to keep them moist while you prepare the remaining rolls.
09
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped fresh tarragon, finely sliced fresh basil, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper to create the herb aioli dipping sauce. Adjust seasoning to your preference. (5 minutes)
10
StepServe the chicken salad summer rolls chilled, alongside the herb aioli dipping sauce. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.

Jun 13, 2025These were so much lighter and fresher than a regular chicken salad sandwich! The herb aioli really made the dish.

May 29, 2025The rice paper was a little difficult to work with at first, but after a few tries, I got the hang of it. The end result was well worth the effort!
