Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:

  • 8 rice paper wrappers
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • 1 bell pepper (red or yellow), julienned
  • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions:

  1. Prepare all your vegetables and have them ready to go before starting to assemble the spring rolls.
  2. Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds, or until it becomes soft and pliable. Lay it flat on a clean kitchen towel.
  3. On the bottom third of the wrapper, place a small handful of spinach or mixed greens. Top with a few pieces of carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, and red cabbage. Add a couple of slices of avocado, and a few leaves of cilantro, mint, and basil.
  4. Gently fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
  5. For the dipping sauce, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, minced garlic, sugar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  6. Serve the spring rolls immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
Helpful Tips:

  • If you are new to working with rice paper, be gentle when handling the wrappers as they can tear easily.
  • Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite veggies or add some cooked shrimp or chicken for protein.
  • To make the rolls ahead of time, wrap each roll in a slightly damp paper towel and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Pairings:

  • These Veggie Spring Rolls pair wonderfully with a light, crisp salad on the side.
  • Serve with chilled jasmine tea or a refreshing iced green tea for a complete meal.
