This recipe also takes a healthier approach to the egg roll, an American interpretation of Chinese food. Normally infused with diced meat, shrimp or shredded vegetables, this variation includes [creamy avocados](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wholly-avocado), cilantro and sun-dried tomatoes. However, this recipe isn't all healthy as it is still [deep-fried](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fried-cheese-wonton). It is definitely worthwhile to indulge in these [bite-sized snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tastiez). Shawn, the creative genius behind the I Wash You Dry blog, suggests serving this appetizer with a creamy cilantro ranch dip. If the sound of this egg roll doesn't make your mouth water, the photos definitely will. Be sure to save this recipe for the next get together and enjoy in the crunchy, creamy goodness of a semi-healthy snack food. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Plant-based Appetizers:** The rise of plant-based diets opens up opportunities for innovative appetizers like meatless avocado eggrolls. - **Healthier Food Alternatives:** Consumers are seeking out healthier versions of popular dishes, creating a demand for alternatives like the I Wash You Dry appetizer. - **Creative Fusion Cuisine:** Blending different culinary traditions, such as American egg rolls with Mexican flavors, allows for unique and disruptive dishes like the I Wash You Dry recipe. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can capitalize on the growing trend of plant-based appetizers and healthier food alternatives. - **Restaurant and Catering:** Restaurants and catering services can offer inventive fusion cuisine options to cater to customers looking for unique and healthier appetizers. - **Recipe and Food Blogging:** Recipe and food bloggers can create content around innovative recipes like the meatless avocado eggrolls, targeting health-conscious consumers seeking new and exciting appetizer options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tempura-Inspired Fried Avocado Wedges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-wedges.md) - [Egg-Infused Avocado Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-egg.md) - [Dippable Veggie Egg Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggie-egg-rolls-with-sweet-spicy-sauce.md) - [Fried Cream Cheese Appetizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fried-cream-cheese-wonton.md) - [Shredded Veggie Egg Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-spicy-sauce.md) - [Veggie-Made Avocado Oil Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-health-veggie-snacks.md) - [Flavorful Basil-Infused Appetizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summ-thai-basil-chicken.md) - [Tempura-Fried Veggie Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetable-birds-nests.md) - [Avocado Toast Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-toast-crackers.md)
