Ingredients

Scale
  • Rice paper wrappers
  • 2 ounces rice vermicelli noodles
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup julienned carrots
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, seeded and sliced into matchsticks
  • 1/2 cup red cabbage, thinly shredded
  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced (optional)
  • For the Creamy Almond Dip:
  • 1/4 cup almond butter (smooth, unsweetened)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • 2–3 tablespoons water
  • A few drops sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Boil 2 ounces of rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions (3-4 minutes). Drain, rinse under cold water, toss with a tiny drizzle of sesame oil, and set aside to cool.
  2. Wash and thinly slice 1/2 cup each of red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, julienned carrots, cucumber sticks, and shredded red cabbage. Chop cilantro and mint leaves, slice green onions thinly, and slice avocado just before assembling.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine 1/4 cup almond butter, juice of 1 lime, 1 clove minced garlic, 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, 2-3 tablespoons water, and a few drops sesame oil. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting water for desired consistency.
  4. Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper for 15-20 seconds until pliable but not too soft. Lay flat on a clean surface or damp towel.
  5. Near the bottom edge of the wrapper, layer a small handful of noodles, then arrange bell peppers, carrots, cucumber, cabbage, herbs, green onions, and avocado slices. Avoid overfilling.
  6. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to seal the spring roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
  7. Arrange rolls on a platter with the creamy almond dip in a small bowl for dipping. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.

Notes

Soak rice paper just until pliable to avoid tearing. Keep veggies dry before assembling to prevent sogginess. Blend almond dip until very smooth, adding water gradually to reach desired consistency. Assemble rolls just before serving or store wrapped with a damp towel in the fridge for up to 4 hours.
