Pineapple Spring Rolls + Dole Get Up And Grow Tour!

July 24, 2015 By Julie Hasson

Dole Get Up And Grow Tour

I am an official ambassador for Dole Fresh Fruit and Vegetables. Dole provided me with free salad and pineapple coupons for the purpose of this post, as well as compensation for my time. As always, all opinions expressed in this post are mine. 

There are always so many fun things going on in Portland at any given time, and I’ve got another cool one to add to your list. This week is the Dole Get Up And Grow Tour. It’s an 11,700-mile, 115-day journey organized by the Dole Food Company and Blue Diamond Almond Breeze to give North Americans a number of tangible ways to make 2015 their healthiest and happiest summer EVER! They are directly challenging local residents to eat better this summer to receive some exciting health and wellness rewards. They’ll be stopping at 480 supermarkets and special events throughout the U.S. and Canada through September.

So if you’re in Portland, Oregon this week, I’ve got the list below of all the stops the tour is making in our lovely city.

The Get Up and Grow Tour Caravan is a wrapped van and trailer with kitchen and sampling tent that offers free recipe samples, a DIY smoothie bar, free giveaways for the kids, expert nutritional advice by our resident RD or produce expert and other surprises. Visitors can also create their own customizable, interactive pledge that gives them the chance to receive wellness rewards like free DOLE fresh produce, Fitbits® and a wellness getaway in California. Visitors can sample a variety of fruit, vegetable and salad recipes created for Get Up and Grow! Here is the website for more information on the tour here.

As part of this post, I thought that it would be fun to create a recipe using Dole fresh pineapple and spinach (along with mint, basil and avocado!). Once you’ve got your ingredients together, the recipe goes together in a snap! It’s also gluten-free and vegan, and doesn’t contain any added sugar or oil. Don’t miss the recipe below, because it may just become your new go-to dish. 

This is such a cool tour, and one that you will want to catch. Plus, I love anything promoting fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy recipes and almond milk!

Pineapple Spring Rolls with Mint, Basil and Avocado
2015-07-24 06:26:18
Serves 4
This recipe is so fresh and delicious, and goes together in a snap! You can customize these rolls to your liking, which is why some of the ingredients are optional. The tofu will add protein to the rolls, and the optional rice makes the a little more filling. The jalapeño adds a little kick to them, which I add to mine. Serve these flavorful rolls as an appetizer or main dish. Feel free to increase the amounts and make extra.

Prep Time

Prep Time
15 min
Ingredients
  1. About 8 rice paper wrappers
  2. 1 bag Dole fresh spinach leaves
  3. Fresh mint or cilantro leaves (1 small bunch)
  4. Fresh basil leaves (1 small bunch)
  5. Dole fresh pineapple slices, cut into 4 to 5-inch strips (about 1/4 of a pineapple)
  6. 1 avocado, pitted and sliced
  7. 1 carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
  8. 1 small cucumber, peeled and cut into matchsticks
  9. Sautéed or baked tofu, cut into strips, optional
  10. About 1 1/2 to 2 cups cooked brown rice, optional
  11. 1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced, optional
Instructions
  1. Working one at a time, place your dried rice paper wrapper under hot water for several seconds until wet. It should still feel stiff and not soft. Place the dampened wrapper on a silicone baking mat. On the bottom quarter of the wrapper, place a few Dole spinach leaves, a few mint and basil leaves, a couple Dole pineapple strips, avocado, a couple strips of carrot and cucumber, a few slices of tofu (if using), and about 2 to 3 tablespoons or so of cooked rice and jalapeño, if using. Gently fold the wrapper over once, tucking in the edges, and continue tightly rolling until the seam is sealed. Place the rolls seam-side down on a serving platter and cover with damp towel to keep fresh. Repeat with the remaining rolls.
  2. Serve the rolls with a dipping sauce (see recipe below or use your favorite peanut sauce), and serve.
Notes
  1. To make the sautéed tofu, cut extra firm tofu into strips the size of French fries, and sauté in a lightly greased cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the tofu, turning the strips as necessary until the tofu is golden brown. Splash with a little tamari and cook another minute or two until the tofu is lightly caramelized. Taste the tofu and if it needs more flavor, squirt it with a little more tamari. Remove from the heat and cool.
  2. To make a dipping sauce, I like to combine reduced-sodium tamari with a splash of rice vinegar and a little Sriracha. Alternately, you can serve the rolls with your favorite peanut or dipping sauce.

      Thanks Kristina! I could live on spring rolls during the summer. So fresh, especially with fruit.

      I agree that the Dole tour is super cool! I love that they’re sharing healthy eating around the country.

    Dole has a problematic history of using chemicals and pesticides that were bad for workers. Toxic, and dangerous. Not to mention the toxic residues on the vegetables that the end users eat. Are all (or any of) these vegetables on this tour organic? GMO free?
