Healthy & fresh shrimp spring roll bowls are topped with peanut dressing for an easy deconstructed version of a Vietnamese classic.

A large glass bowl of spring roll salad. There's a smaller bowl in the front with rice noodles, carrots, bean sprouts, cucumber, fresh mint and basil. It's topped with shrimp and crushed peanuts. Next to the bowls is a smaller bowl with peanut dressing with a small spoon in it.

You know those cold appetizer spring rolls you get at a Vietnamese/Asian restaurant?  They’re wrapped in this stretchy, translucent rice paper and filled with fresh crunchy ingredients and you get that amazing peanut dressing with crushed peanuts in it?

These fresh shrimp spring roll bowls are exactly like those delicious appetizers except they’re a deconstructed version that’s served in a nice big bowl instead of wrapped in the rice paper.

Here in Rhode Island I know a lot of restaurants call them Nime Chow on the menu, but I think they’re more commonly known as Spring or Summer rolls.

Either way, they’re crunchy, light, and delicious and this version is perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner!

A brown speckles bowl with rice noodles, chopped lettuce, shredded carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts, basil and mint. It's topped with shrimp and a wedge of lime.

What’s in Vietnamese spring rolls?

  • Thin Rice noodles also known as Vermicelli (I like to use brown rice noodles, they’re gluten free and you can buy them in a pack of 6 here)
  • Shrimp (or you can omit for a vegan/vegetarian version)
  • Fresh Mint & Basil
  • Bean Sprouts
  • Chopped Romaine Lettuce
  • Shredded Carrots
  • Diced Cucumber

The summer roll bowls get topped with a delicious peanut dressing that’s a little sweet with a great umami flavor from the fish sauce.

The peanut dressing for our fresh summer roll bowls is made with:

  • Water
  • Sugar
  • Lime Juice
  • White Vinegar
  • Fish Sauce (can substitute Soy sauce for vegetarian/vegan version)
  • Ginger
  • Garlic
  • Chopped Peanuts

These spring roll salad bowls can be made ahead for a healthy lunch meal prep recipe or served for a light summer dinner.

No guilt here if you end up eating half the bowl; it’s made with all fresh, raw, good-for-you ingredients.

Not only are they healthy, but they’re literally made in under 30 minutes, and the only “cooking” you have to do is boiling your noodles and shrimp.

You can easily omit the shrimp and substitute chicken or you can leave it out all together for a vegan/vegetarian version.

The noodles are also gluten free, just double check your packaging as some brands may vary.

We go to this little BYOB restaurant that’s got a variety of Vietnamese, Cambodian and Thai on their menu.  Everything is made from scratch and so delicious!

Every time we go, I get an order of the “nime chow” and it never disappoints.  It’s just so fresh and crunchy, which I like after devouring some crab Rangoon’s ;).

My mom and I have actually replicated the nime chow rolls at home, and while I do love picking them up and biting into them, they are tedious to hand roll each one, which is why this bowl version is so great.

Quick, no fuss, and easily eaten…just how I like it.

For more delicious and easy healthy salad recipes try:

My Favorites

Air fried apple fritters on top of a cooling rack with parchment paper. They're dripping with brown butter glaze. There's a cup of coffee and red apple in the background with two whole cinnamon sticks.
A platter with crockpot corned beef, that’s tender and falling apart. Chunky potatoes, onions and carrots are on one side and fried green cabbage is on the other side. An easy and traditional St. Paddy’s day recipe.
A white bowl of homemade cauliflower gnocchi that have been pan fried and golden. They’re a copy cat version of Trader Joe’s
