Fresh Spring Rolls Stuffed with Chicken Salad

Fresh Rolls with Chicken Salad

These fresh rolls are so versatile, quick and easy that, for right now, I'm hooked on them! The chicken salad was actually made for sandwiches. However, the rice paper was begging to be used and we had 3 heads of romaine lettuce in the refrigerator, and this was much quicker than toasting bread, etc.

Chilled Chicken Salad

I had made the chicken salad and refrigerated it right after breakfast, so when the rolls were made, they were nice and chilled because the lettuce also came straight out of the refrigerator. The best part of this recipe is that there is no cooking involved, whatsoever!

1 (16 oz.) pkg. deli rotisserie chicken slices, cut in long strips and diced

4 Tbsp. Hellman's real mayonnaise, mixed with
