Ingredients

Calories: 156
Fat: 9
Carbs: 7.4
Protein: 1.5
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1–2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
  • 1 tablespoons honey
  • a big squeeze of lime juice
  • a dash of fish sauce

Steps

  1. Place the ingredients for the peanut sauce in a food processor or blender. Pulse or blend until smooth.
  2. Slice the cucumber, pepper, and carrots into thin strips about 3 inches long. Slice the avocado into pieces.
  3. Soak one rice paper wrapper at a time into a bowl of warm-ish water for about 30 seconds. When you see or feel the wrapper getting loose and elastic-y, remove it from the water and set it on a damp towel. Pat it dry gently and dry your hands.
  4. Arrange a few of the vegetables and herbs in the center of the wrapper horizontally, starting with the leafy greens and ending with the avocado. Fold the left and right sides towards the middle; fold the top flap over the vegetables, tuck everything in, and tightly roll it all up. The wrapper will be very sticky and delicate so work carefully.
  5. Cut the rolls in half and place on a serving platter. Drizzle with the sauce or dip in the sauce.
