Happy, happy Spring!!
Finally, right? I am SO ready.
Good weather from here on out, right? Yeah, right,
No, but get this, it is actually sunny today… and not snowing. Yes, yes, yes!! Last year it was a full on blizzard as I recall. I am kind of hoping that this year, since we have so much snow that it’s insane, that spring will be sunny and maybe not freezing. But I would take just sunny because when the sun is out around here, it just feels warm. Yesterday I do believe the brother with the broken neck (Creighton) actually did some laying in the sun, just for 20 minutes or so, but he actually got a little sunburned.
FYI, I know breaking your neck is serious business, but he kind of has the life if you ask me.
I mean, sitting in the sun, mid day, with nothing to get done. Sounds sort of nice.
But anyway, what better way to welcome spring with colors!
Lots and lots of them.
Oh, and lemongrass, which is a new and favorite ingredient for me.
So good.
Ok, so truth be told, I don’t have a whole lot of words today.
Actually, I feel like that has been the case all week, but I have never called myself a writer so I feel like this sort of thing is inevitable.
We’ll just let the photos do the talking today.
But, I do have to say, the flavors in this salad are spot on amazing. It is a deconstructed spring roll, so no rolling and easier eating. Plus, there are homemade crackers involved and we all know that makes everything a little more fun… and kind of delicious.
Ok, just straight up delicious.
I am sort of extra tired. You see, I have been working on this “thing” all week, and if all goes well I am hoping to share tomorrow. We shall see…
For now, lets toast spring with spring roll salads!

I just love all of those flavors, fresh veggies, hoisin, lime, ginger … and lemongrass. (I even grow my own lemongrass.) Such a wonderful meal – I wish I could have it for lunch instead of what I packed.
I LOVE the idea of a spring roll salad! And those chips, very creative. Maybe if we all eat this salad we can channel warm summery thoughts to the universe and fast track some of that warm weather. : )
Yum! This looks so delicious! I’m all about the southeast Asian foods, lately so this could;t be more perfect!
was literally JUST talking to my friend today about how I’ve never had Vietnamese food but always wanted to try it! guess now I’ll have to go and make some of my own 🙂
This makes me feel so at home! I used to live right next to a Thai restaurant and this was all I used to eat! 🙂
I’ve never been so happy to see spring in my life!! This winter has seemed to drag on.
Good gracious this looks incredible.
Wow, this salad looks so insanely good! I could just stare at the photos of all those ingredients all day long. Love that you made an easier/salad version of a spring roll!
That is one fine looking salad! Happy spring 🙂
Thanks Liz!
This dish looks beyond amazing! Vietnamese food is the best!
Thanks Layla!
I made a very similar Vietnamese vermicelli bowl for dinner last night!! So so so good!!! This looks stunning!
Thanks Liz! We seem to be thinking similar this week!
Ginger, hoisin, lemongrass = yum! These are a few of my fav ingredients. I will save this recipe for summer, as I grow lemongrass in my garden (gets to be 3ft tall) & I always have more then I know what to do with! This really looks amazing
Give Creighton a break…sounds like he deserves alittle downtime in the sun, join him:)
You grow lemongrass!? That is so awesome. I wish I had a garden or at least lived in a place where is did not freeze every night throughout the summer!
Thanks Sarah!
Yeah Tieghan, give me a break!! Or join me 🙂
This looks great. Unfortunately, my family would never touch something such as this. I would eat the snot out of it though! Where do you find lemongrass?
Haha! Most of my family is the same way! LOL!
I found lemon grass in the produce section at my local grocery store. It was with the fresh herbs. Hope that helps!
This looks like Spring! And I’m all about warmer weather and brighter colors! Love the crackers! I will be making this real soon, thanks Tieghan!
Thanks Kathy! Hope you love this salad!
That salad looks so good and just what we need on the first day of spring. I love the crackers can’t wait to try. I’ve never used lemongrass so it will be a new ingredient for me to try.
Thank you! Hope you love lemongrass! I thought it was really refreshing!
This looks amazing!!!
Thank you!
