Summer brings an abundance of bright, fresh produce, and these Rainbow Veggie Rolls are a perfect way to showcase it. Crisp vegetables, creamy hummus, sharp cheddar, and a flavorful Ginger Avocado Dressing make each bite vibrant and satisfying. These rolls work equally well as bite-sized appetizers or as full wraps for a filling lunch. They’re simple to assemble, require no cooking, and are easy to adapt to your tastes or dietary needs.
How to Make Rainbow Veggie Rolls
These rainbow veggie rolls are straightforward to prepare. No stove required—just a bit of chopping and a few simple assembly steps. If you enjoy meal prep, chopping the vegetables ahead of time makes assembling these rolls a one-minute task during busy mornings or before heading out for lunch.
Start with an 8-inch whole grain tortilla and two large leafy green lettuce leaves. Spread a layer of your favorite hummus over the lettuce—roasted red pepper hummus works beautifully for color and flavor, but any variety will do. Add a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, then pile on the vegetables in colorful stripes. Roll the tortilla tightly, secure with a toothpick if needed, and slice into bite-sized rounds or cut in half for a wrap.
The Ginger Avocado Dressing is creamy, bright, and brings everything together. Blend avocado with fresh grated ginger, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and a bit of water to reach your preferred consistency. The dressing doubles as a dip or a drizzle and complements the crunchy vegetables and hummus perfectly.
Here’s What You’ll Need
Below is a list of the ingredients used in the recipe. Feel free to swap, add, or omit items based on what you have on hand or your dietary preferences.
- 4 8-inch multigrain tortillas
- 8 large leafy green lettuce leaves
- 1 cup of your favorite hummus (roasted red pepper or plain)
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup each: thinly sliced red bell pepper, thinly sliced cucumber, shredded red (purple) cabbage, matchstick carrots, and broccoli sprouts
Other optional additions: asparagus, onions (red, white, or green), tomatoes, spinach or arugula, fruit, grilled chicken, shrimp, cooked rice, or quinoa. You can also make a low-carb version by using only lettuce as the wrap base.
You can make these low-carb by swapping the tortillas for large lettuce leaves and assembling the rolls the same way.
For the Ginger Avocado Dressing
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, depending on desired consistency
- Pinch of salt, to taste
Prep Time, Servings, and Tips
Prep Time: 20 minutes. Total Time: 20 minutes. Servings: 4.
Chop all vegetables ahead of time to streamline assembly. The dressing can be made the night before and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. The assembled rolls taste best fresh but can be chilled for a few hours when packed for lunch. If you’re preparing these for an event, slice into bite-sized rounds to serve as colorful appetizers.
Instructions
- Lay each tortilla flat. Place two large lettuce leaves on top of each tortilla.
- Spread about 1/4 cup hummus over the lettuce on each tortilla.
- Place one slice of sharp cheddar cheese on each tortilla.
- Arrange the sliced vegetables in colorful rows across the tortilla so each bite has a mix of textures and flavors.
- Tightly roll the tortilla, pressing to secure the filling. Use a toothpick if desired, then slice each roll into four bite-sized rounds or cut in half to serve as a wrap.
- For the dressing: combine avocado, grated ginger, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a blender or food processor and pulse until roughly combined. With the motor running, slowly add olive oil and then water until the dressing is smooth and reaches the consistency you prefer.
- Drizzle the Ginger Avocado Dressing over the rolls or serve it on the side for dipping. Enjoy immediately or store the dressing separately until ready to eat.
