Tofu Summer Rolls with Caesar Sauce
Tofu Summer Rolls with Caesar Sauce 🥢🥬
Fresh, crunchy, and bursting with flavor, these Tofu Summer Rolls with Caesar Sauce are a light yet satisfying meal or snack. Instead of the usual Asian-style fillings, this twist combines creamy avocado, crisp Romaine, and savory Parmesan with golden pan-fried tofu, all wrapped in delicate rice paper. Dip them in Caesar dressing for a bold, tangy finish — perfect for warm days when you want something refreshing but filling.
