Ingredients
  

  • For the spring rolls you'll need:
  • 10 rice paper wrappers
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 1/4 purple cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 cucumber cut into thin strips
  • Fresh herbs mint and cilantro
  • For the peanut dipping sauce:
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Water to thin if needed

Instructions
 

  • Start by preparing all your vegetables and arranging them in separate piles. Fill a large, shallow dish with warm water.
  • Dip a rice paper wrapper into the water for a few seconds until it becomes pliable, then lay it flat on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
  • Arrange a small amount of each vegetable in the center of the wrapper, along with a few leaves of mint and cilantro. Be careful not to overfill.
  • Fold the bottom of the wrapper up and over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to seal.
  • Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling. The key is to choose a variety of colors and textures to create a visually appealing and satisfying bite.
  • For the dipping sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, and lime juice in a small bowl. If the sauce is too thick, add water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Notes

Serve these spring rolls with the peanut dipping sauce. This combination of flavors complements the fresh vegetables perfectly and adds a creamy, savory element to the dish.
These spring rolls are delicious and incredibly versatile. You can customize the fillings based on your preferences or what's available seasonally.
They're also a great make-ahead option, as you can prepare the rolls and the sauce in advance and store them separately in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
