Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • Water (1/2 cup (for dipping sauce))
  • Agave syrup (1 tablespoon)
  • Lime juice (1 tablespoon)
  • Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • Peanut butter (1/4 cup)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (1/2 cup)
  • Fresh mint leaves (1/2 cup)
  • Purple cabbage (1 cup, julienned)
  • Red bell pepper (1, julienned)
  • Cucumber (1, julienned)
  • Carrots (2, julienned)
  • Rice paper wrappers (12)

Instructions

  1. Begin by prepping your vegetables. Julienne the purple cabbage, bell pepper, cucumber, and carrots and set them aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Fold the sides of the wrapper inward over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, ensuring the filling stays inside.
  5. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  6. For the dipping sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, agave syrup, and water in a small bowl until smooth.
  7. Serve the spring rolls with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy these refreshing, healthy bites of goodness!
