Ingredients
8 to 10 rice paper wrappers (10-inch)
5 green leaf lettuce leaves, torn
1 cup fresh basil leaves
¾ cup fresh mint leaves
¾ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup matchstick carrots
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
½ English cucumber, matchstick cut
1 avocado, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Peanut Sauce:
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
4 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2–3 tablespoons water, as needed
Instructions
1. Set up your rolling station with all chopped ingredients and a bowl of warm water.
2. Soak one rice paper wrapper in water for 10–15 seconds. Lay flat on a damp surface.
3. Layer lettuce, herbs, and vegetables in the center. Add salt and pepper.
4. Fold the bottom edge over filling, then fold in sides, and roll tightly from bottom to top.
5. Place rolled spring rolls on a plate covered with a damp towel.
6. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
7. For the sauce: Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, and ginger. Add water until creamy.
8. Serve rolls with dipping sauce immediately or refrigerate up to 24 hours.
Notes
Keep your hands and surface damp to prevent rice paper from sticking.
Use any fresh vegetables or herbs you have on hand.
Store leftover rolls wrapped in damp paper towels in an airtight container.
Peanut sauce can be made 3 days ahead and stored in the fridge.
