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
- 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!
