Ingredients You’ll Need

Every bite of Detox Rainbow Roll-Ups with Peanut Sauce is built from a handful of colorful, everyday ingredients that work together to create a masterpiece. Each component serves a purpose—whether for crunch, creaminess, color, or a bright pop of herbal freshness—making these simple ingredients absolutely essential to the experience.

Collard Green Leaves or Rice Paper Wrappers: These form the crisp, sturdy base that holds everything together; collards add extra nutrients and veggie power, while rice wrappers are classic and super easy to roll.
Red Cabbage: Vibrant and crunchy, red cabbage brings a stunning pop of purple and lots of fiber.
Carrot: Julienned strips provide sweetness, crunch, and that beautiful orange hue.
Yellow Bell Pepper: Thinly sliced for mellow sweetness and a cheerful golden color.
Cucumber: Cool, refreshing, and full of water, cucumber adds crisp bite to every roll.
Avocado: Sliced and creamy, avocado lends a buttery contrast to the crunchy veggies.
Fresh Cilantro Leaves: Herbaceous and zesty, cilantro brings a blast of fresh flavor.
Fresh Mint Leaves: A few leaves brighten up each bite with cool, aromatic notes.
Fresh Basil Leaves: Basil adds a subtle, sweetly peppery essence for depth.
Creamy Peanut Butter: The base of your irresistible sauce; choose natural, if possible, for pure peanut flavor.
Soy Sauce or Tamari: Adds essential salty depth and umami to your dipping sauce.
Rice Vinegar: Lively, tangy, and balances out all the creamy, nutty richness.
Honey or Maple Syrup: A touch of sweetness to round out the sauce (use maple syrup for a vegan version).
Fresh Lime Juice: For a bright burst of acidity that elevates the whole dish.
Fresh Ginger (grated): Infuses the peanut sauce with zippy, warming flavor.
Warm Water: Helps you reach that perfect drizzle-able peanut sauce consistency.

How to Make Detox Rainbow Roll-Ups with Peanut Sauce

Step 1: Prep Your Wrappers

Start by preparing your roll-up base. If you’re using collard greens, take a sharp knife and trim the thick part of the stem from the back of each leaf to make them more flexible and easy to roll. For rice paper wrappers, simply dip each one into a shallow dish of warm water for about 10-15 seconds; they’ll soften quickly but make sure not to let them get too floppy. Lay your prepared wrapper or leaf flat on a clean, dry surface—this is your canvas!

Step 2: Layer In the Rainbow

Arrange a small handful of red cabbage, carrot, yellow bell pepper, cucumber, avocado, plus a few leaves each of cilantro, mint, and basil, right in the center of your wrapper. The secret is not to overstuff! You want vibrant stripes of color and plenty of room to roll. Each veggie and herb brings its own flavor and crunch, so build a mini rainbow that looks as good as it tastes.

Step 3: Roll Them Up Tight

Fold in the sides of your wrapper, then start rolling tightly from the bottom up—just like a burrito. The goal is to wrap everything snugly so it holds together when sliced or dipped. Place each finished Detox Rainbow Roll-Up with Peanut Sauce seam-side down while you finish the batch, and repeat with the rest of your ingredients.

Step 4: Whisk Up the Peanut Sauce

In a small bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, and grated fresh ginger. Whisk everything together and gradually add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until you get a silky, pourable sauce that’s perfect for drizzling or dipping. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed—if you love heat, a little sriracha or chili flakes can add an extra spark!

Step 5: Serve and Savor

Arrange your Detox Rainbow Roll-Ups with Peanut Sauce on a platter, slice in half if desired for extra flair, and serve with the peanut sauce on the side. Each roll bursts with freshness, and when dipped in the rich, tangy sauce, every bite becomes simply irresistible. This is where all those colors and flavors truly shine!

How to Serve Detox Rainbow Roll-Ups with Peanut Sauce

Garnishes

For an Instagram-worthy finish, sprinkle your roll-ups with sliced almonds, toasted sesame seeds, or even a dusting of crushed peanuts. A scatter of extra fresh herbs or edible flowers can transform your plate into a work of art and give each bite even more dimension and crunch.

Side Dishes

These Detox Rainbow Roll-Ups with Peanut Sauce are perfect as a standalone light meal or snack, but they also complement a crisp Asian slaw, a bowl of hot miso soup, or a refreshing fruit salad for a full feast. For a heartier spread, pair them with soba noodles tossed in sesame oil or a cooling cucumber salad.

Creative Ways to Present

Slice the roll-ups in half on a dramatic diagonal for a stunning appetizer platter, or arrange them upright in a glass like a veggie bouquet. You can even set up a DIY rainbow roll-up bar and let everyone customize their own—guaranteed to be a crowd favorite at parties or picnics!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you find yourself with extra Detox Rainbow Roll-Ups with Peanut Sauce, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh and crisp in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though the greens may lose a bit of their snap. Keep the peanut sauce separate until ready to serve for best results.

Freezing

Freezing is not recommended for these roll-ups, as the texture of the fresh veggies and herbs will suffer once thawed. However, you can freeze the peanut sauce separately in a small airtight container for up to one month; just whisk well after defrosting.

Reheating

Since Detox Rainbow Roll-Ups with Peanut Sauce are designed to be served fresh and chilled, there’s no need to reheat. If your peanut sauce thickens in the fridge, simply stir in a splash of warm water to bring it back to that luscious, dippable consistency.

FAQs

Can I use different vegetables in these roll-ups?

Absolutely! Think of Detox Rainbow Roll-Ups with Peanut Sauce as a blueprint for creativity—swap in sliced snap peas, sprouts, shredded lettuce, or even mango strips for fun flavor twists. The more color, the better!

Are these roll-ups gluten-free?

If you use tamari instead of traditional soy sauce (which often contains wheat) and stick with collard greens or gluten-free rice paper, these roll-ups are entirely gluten-free.

Can I make the peanut sauce ahead of time?

Yes! Whip up the peanut sauce in advance and store it in the fridge for several days in a sealed jar or container. Just give it a good stir (and thin with a touch of water if needed) before serving.

What can I use instead of peanut butter?

If you’re allergic to peanuts or just want to switch it up, almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter all taste delicious in this sauce. Each will bring a slightly different flavor profile, but all work well for Detox Rainbow Roll-Ups with Peanut Sauce.

How do I keep the roll-ups from falling apart?

Don’t overstuff, and be sure to roll tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. For rice paper, make sure it’s softened but not overly wet; for collard leaves, trim the stem for flexibility. Resting the rolls seam-side down also helps them stay put until ready to eat.

Final Thoughts

There’s just something magical about gathering up the freshest ingredients and turning them into something as vibrant and tasty as Detox Rainbow Roll-Ups with Peanut Sauce. Whether you’re making them for yourself or to share, I hope this colorful, crunchy recipe brings as much joy to your table as it does to mine—happy rolling!
