  • Happy Backwards Day, everyone!

    I’m all for celebrating special days of the year, like National Hugging Day, National Talk Like Shakespeare Day, National Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day, National Cellophane Tape Day… the list goes on. And today’s celebration is no exception – especially when I can put it to good use with my food (always a good idea. Unless it’s Cellophane Tape Day. Don’t eat cellophane tape).

    This Inside-Out Spring Roll Salad is the bee’s knees, you guys. It’s the cat’s pajamas. It’s the best thing since sliced bread. And it’s perfect for celebrating today’s occasion! Because we’re taking a spring roll out of the roll and making it a salad, THAT’S WHY.

    Firstly, gather your ingredients. This salad is so vegan, so vegetarian, so colorful and vibrant and good for you that you won’t even know how to deal – except eat it, of course.

    Put your fixins in a large bowl…

    Just.

    Like.

    This. (Anyone else want to know what water chestnuts look like in real life? Nope, just me? Mmmk.)

    Whisk up your sweet n’ spicy dressing and pour it all over your b-e-a-ooo-tiful salad. (Actually I just looked up what water chestnuts look like in the shell and I wish I didn’t. They look weeeeeeeird.)

    Now toss everything together until it’s one big party in a bowl. (Now I’m not sure I want these water chestnuts all up in my spring roll salad.)

    Serve it up as a side or main dish (you can totally add protein, like shrimp or tofu or crab meat, to make it more main dishy) and sprinkle on some black sesame seeds for equal parts cuteness and crunchiness. (Just kidding. The water chestnuts are delicious – they can stay.)

    That’s all there is to it! Everyone, backwardsness of day your enjoy!
