    Watercress Spring Rolls

    You may be wondering, "why watercress and not another green?" Well, if you've been hanging around here awhile, you know that we love watercress for multiple reasons. The number one reason being the versatility of the ingredient. One thing a good meal prepper loves is an ingredient that can be purchased and used in multiple recipes. We were crushing on the watercress pesto last month! 

    On top of being versatile and very delicious, there are also a ton of health benefits to watercress. We shared our top 6 favorites benefits in this post here!

Place onto a clean work surface and add 2 slices of marinated tofu, watercress, cabbage, carrots and cilantro toward the bottom center of the paper. Fold bottom away from you and fold in sides. Roll until completely closed. Set aside and repeat until you have 16 spring rolls.
    • Slice spring rolls in half and place 8 halves into 4 MPOF black containers. Stir together ingredients for peanut sauce in a small bowl until smooth. Divide between 4 small dip cups and place 1 cup in each container. Refrigerate until serving.
