Fresh Lumpia Salad

Fresh Lumpia Salad

If you're familiar with Filipino food, then you might have heard of "lumpia" which are similar to fried spring rolls. Not all lumpia* is fried. There is a version called Lumpiang Sariwa or Fresh Lumpia. Traditionally it’s made with a soft wrapper that is filled with fresh lettuce and vegetables that have been lightly stir fried. In our version, we are turning it into a salad with a sweet and sour crunchy peanut dressing made with our NAKED CRUNCH Organic Peanut Butter.
