Great reci[es. Easy to make and you can change them up if you want, but these recipes are, at worst, a great starting off point.

These were simply delicious. The sauce was so good, but I suggest having them as a "make your own" as they were hard to keep wrapped up.

These are the BEST!! I have taken them to a party and vegans and non-vegans inhale them!! LOVE the dipping sauce!! They are very easy to make. Grate the beets and carrots if you don't have a way to julienne them. You have to try them!!

Love it! I was sure that it was going to be a flop, but wanted to try it because I loved the concept. They turned out great. I used basil-pesto hummus instead of tahini in the sauce, and the flavors were perfect. Thanks for such a wonderful recipe.
