Ingredients

  • For the Rolls:

    • Rice paper wrappers (available in Asian markets or grocery stores)
    • 1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or lettuce)
    • 1/2 cucumber, julienned
    • 1 carrot, julienned
    • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
    • 1 avocado, sliced
    • Fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, or basil)
  • For the Dipping Sauce:

    • 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
    • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for a gluten-free option)
    • 1 tbsp lime juice
    • 1 tsp maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
    • Water to thin (as needed)

Direction

  1. Prepare the Dipping Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and maple syrup until smooth. Add water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Set aside.
  2. Soften the Rice Paper Wrappers:

    • Fill a shallow dish or large plate with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds, or until it softens. Be careful not to soak it too long, as it will become too fragile.
  3. Fill the Rolls:

    • Place the softened wrapper on a clean, flat surface. In the center, layer a small handful of mixed greens, a few strips of cucumber, carrot, and bell pepper, a couple of slices of avocado, and a few fresh herbs.
  4. Roll Them Up:

    • Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Tuck in the sides as you roll to keep everything secure. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. Serve:

    • Arrange the spring rolls on a plate and serve with the dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Make Ahead: You can prep the fillings in advance, but it’s best to roll them just before serving to keep the wrappers fresh.
  • Add Protein: For extra protein, add slices of tofu, tempeh, or cooked chickpeas.
  • Customize: Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or radishes, and try different herbs for unique flavors.
