Thai salad rolls, also known as popiah or fresh spring rolls, are a popular Southeast Asian dish consisting of fresh vegetables, herbs, and rice noodles rolled in a thin rice paper wrapper. They are a light, refreshing, and healthy meal that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. Thai salad rolls are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and herbs, and they are also a good source of fiber and protein. The combination of flavors and textures in Thai salad rolls is what makes them so special. The fresh vegetables and herbs provide a light and refreshing taste, while the rice noodles and dipping sauce add a satisfying crunch and savory flavor.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad rolls will taste. Look for crisp vegetables, herbs, and rice paper wrappers.
- Soak the rice paper wrappers properly: Follow the package instructions for soaking the rice paper wrappers. If they are not soaked long enough, they will be too brittle and difficult to roll. If they are soaked too long, they will become too soft and sticky.
- Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings for your salad rolls. Some popular options include shrimp, chicken, tofu, vegetables, and herbs.
- Roll the salad rolls tightly: Roll the salad rolls tightly so that they hold together well. If the rolls are too loose, they will fall apart when you try to eat them.
- Serve the salad rolls with a dipping sauce: A dipping sauce is a great way to add flavor and moisture to your salad rolls. Some popular dipping sauces include peanut sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and hoisin sauce.
