Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
1/2 ham
1/2 turkey
1 celery
1 green apple
1 red onion
1/4 walnuts
1/2 pecans
3 currants
1/2 mayonnaise
1/2 sour cream
15 rice paper sheets
to taste fresh mint

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Filling:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, turkey, celery, green apple, red onion, walnuts, pecans, and currants.
  2. Mix the Dressing:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth.
  3. Combine and Season:

    • Pour the dressing over the Waldorf salad mixture.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Stir well to ensure everything is coated evenly.
  4. Soften the Rice Paper:

    • Prepare a large bowl of hot water.
    • Dip each rice paper sheet into the hot water for about 5-10 seconds, or until it softens.
    • Carefully remove and place on a damp tea towel.
  5. Assemble the Rolls:

    • On one edge of the softened rice paper, place a heaped tablespoon of the Waldorf salad mixture.
    • Fold the sides of the rice paper inwards, then roll it once to enclose the filling.
    • Place a fresh mint leaf along the wrapper.
  6. Finish Rolling:

    • Continue rolling the rice paper tightly until the filling is completely enclosed.
    • Repeat with the remaining rice paper sheets and filling.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Arrange the finished rolls on a serving tray.
    • Cover with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out while assembling the rest.
    • Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with extra mint leaves if desired.

Tips and Variations:

  • Make-Ahead: These rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Just be sure to keep them covered to prevent drying.
  • Vegetarian Option: Skip the ham and turkey for a vegetarian version. You can add extra nuts or even some chickpeas for protein.
  • Gluten-Free: Rice paper is naturally gluten-free, making this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
  • Dipping Sauce: Serve with a side of sweet chili sauce, peanut sauce, or a simple soy-ginger dipping sauce for added flavor.
