Awesome veggie finger food.Great the night they are made and also easy to grab for a meal the next day.Delicious simple flavors.You can cheat and use toothpicks to secure rolls.Just be careful to remove them before serving. Read more I realized the first time I made these I had no mint.I did however have mint tea.I cut open a teabag & it worked great. See less
