Even if I love my traditional "ham & cheese" sandwich,I am a little bit tired of eating almost every day the same thing for lunch: sandwich, pasta salads and sometimes rice salads.
So I have decided to give my lunch meal a kick turning it into some kind of spring rolls, a bit more appealing (at least for me) than the original ones.
Chicken, dried cranberries, carrot, lettuce and soy vermicelli will be wrapped up into light rice wrappers, served while 2 delicious salsa (curry and sweet) to dip them in.
This have inspired me and I'm pretty sure we will talk soon about other alternatives way for lunch such as home-made corn tortilla or bagels. Who's in?
