• 1 English cucumber, julienned
• 1-2 red bell peppers, julienned
• Shredded red cabbage
• Fresh cilantro leaves
• Fresh basil, sliced into thin ribbons
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• Juice 1 lime, 2-3 Tablespoons
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (for gluten free – sub tamari)
• 3 Tbsp. honey

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cook rice noodles according to package instructions. Rinse under cold water and drain over a colander.
2. 2In the meantime, prepare the peanut dipping sauce by adding all sauce ingredients except water to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add water by a tablespoon until desired consistency is achieved. Taste and adjust flavors as needed. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
3. 3To assemble spring rolls, have all of the filling ingredients prepared and layed out. Add warm water to a shallow dish and soak one rice paper wrapper at a time. When you feel the wrapper getting loose, remove it from the water and set it on a damp cutting board.
4. 4Arrange avocado slices in the center of the wrapper, below the avocado arrange the lettuce and layer small handful of noodles, cucumbers, and peppers. On top of the avocado layer red cabbage, cilantro, and basil.
5. 5Gently fold over once, tuck in edges, and continue rolling until the seam is sealed. The wrapper will be very sticky and delicate so work quickly and carefully. It may take few tries and that’s okay.
6. 6Cut the rolls in half and place on a serving platter. Serve with peanut dipping sauce.
