New recipe to try!!!!

Just recently we took my daughter and her family to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory for her birthday dinner and had the Avocado Appetizers and they were so yummy. Today on Studio Five Emily Roche had her Copycat recipe and it looks so yummy. I can't wait to try it so I thought I would pass it along.



Avocado Egg Rolls with Dipping Sauce



2 large avocados, peeled, pitted and diced
4 T. sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
2 T. red onion, minced
1 t. cilantro, chopped
1/4 t. salt
6 egg roll wraps


Gently stir avocadol tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and salt. Distribute filling evenly in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Position a wrapper so that a corner is pointing toward you; fold the bottom corner up over the filling.


Fold side corners in and roll toward the top corner. Wet the top corner with a little water. Then fold top corner over then press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.


Continue by deep-frying egg rolls in 375 degree oil for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.


Slice egg rolls diagonally across the middle and serve with prepared dipping sauce.


Honey Cilantro Dipping Sauce


3-4 t. white vinegar
1 t. balsamic vinegar
1/2 c. honey
1/2 c. chopped cashews
2/3 c. fresh cilantro
2 green onions
1 T. granulated sugar
1 t. black pepper
1 t. ground cumin
1/4 c. olive oil


To make dipping sauce, use a blender or food processor to puree all ingredients except olive oil. Blend until well pureed. Stream in olive oil. Refrigerate until ready to use

Can't wait to try this one, let me know if you try it and what you think!!!!!

  1. Hahaha so funny story...I made them last night! Except I did them in the wheat tortillas instead and just put them in a frying pan on the stove until the were crisp...no oil! They were great! I used extra virgin olive oil in the sauce and we didn't like how it tasted.
