  • Have your fillings ready and seasoned.
  • Roll a variety of salad rolls (some just chicken, just vegetable, some combos, etc.) until all filling and wrappers are used.
  • Arrange the garnishes on a platter along with the fresh salad rolls and the nuoc cham dipping sauce.
  • Tradition has it that the guests using a lettuce leaf as a cup will garnish his or her own salad roll as they choose and dip into nuoc cham.
  • Cut all vegetables carefully and mix with herbs. Wait to season with nuoc cham until you are ready to roll.
  • Brush chicken, beef and shrimp with marinade and cook, preferably on grill. Cool after grilling.
  • Cut chicken, beef and shrimp into desired size and toss with any leftover marinade to season.

These salad rolls were a complete disaster. The rice paper wrappers were too thick and chewy, and the filling was dry and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe.

These salad rolls were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some more herbs or spices.

I had a hard time rolling these salad rolls. The rice paper wrappers were very sticky and kept tearing.

These salad rolls were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best salad rolls he's ever had.

I'm not a big fan of rice paper wrappers, but these salad rolls were still really good. The filling was flavorful and the vegetables were fresh.

I've made these salad rolls a few times now and they are always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of flavors and textures is perfect, and they are so refreshing and healthy. I love that you can customize them with your favorite fillings.

These salad rolls were a hit at my party! They were fresh, flavorful, and so easy to make. I used pre-cooked chicken and shrimp to save time, and the rice paper wrappers were surprisingly easy to work with. I will definitely be making these again.
