Vegetable Spring Rolls

Method

Vegetable Spring Rolls

1

Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and julienne the carrots, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Slice the avocado into thin slices and set aside.

2

Soften Rice Paper Wrappers

Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds until it softens. Remove and lay it flat on a clean surface.

3

Assemble the Spring Rolls

Place a few strips of carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, avocado slices, and a handful of cilantro and mint leaves on the lower third of the rice paper. Sprinkle with a small pinch of salt.

4

Roll the Spring Rolls

Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Dipping Sauce

5

Mix the Sauce Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and water until smooth and well combined.

6

Serve

Transfer the spring rolls to a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
