Instructions
- Begin by prepping your vegetables. Julienne the purple cabbage, bell pepper, cucumber, and carrots and set them aside.
- For the rice paper wrappers, fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one wrapper at a time into the water for a few seconds, just until it becomes soft and pliable. Be careful not to leave it in too long or it might tear.
- Lay the softened wrapper on a clean, flat surface. In the center, arrange a small handful of each vegetable, along with a few mint and cilantro leaves.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper inward over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- For the dipping sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, agave syrup, and water in a small bowl until smooth.
- Serve the spring rolls with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy these refreshing, healthy bites of goodness!
