Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
For the Spring Rolls:
- 8 rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
- ½ cup purple cabbage, shredded
- ½ cup fresh cilantro or mint leaves
- ½ avocado, sliced (optional)
For the Dipping Sauce:
- ¼ cup peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1-2 tablespoons water (to thin as needed)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients:
Wash and slice all vegetables into thin strips. Set them aside along with fresh herbs. - Make the Dipping Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, and grated ginger. Add water as needed for desired consistency. - Soften the 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. Place it on a clean surface. - Assemble the Rolls:
Arrange a small handful of each vegetable and fresh herbs in the center of the wrapper. Add avocado slices if using. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up, similar to a burrito. Repeat with remaining wrappers. - Serve & Enjoy:
Slice the spring rolls in half if desired and serve with the dipping sauce.
