SPRING ROLLS MADE EASY

So I have not been the best blogger lately, but I am going to do better. Today I was feeling ambitious and so I attempted a cool summer snack.

VEGGIE SPRING ROLLS

10 sheets rice paper (I found mine for $2 at Whole foods - Check the ethnic aisle at the store)
1 Avocado
abt. 4 carrots
1 cucumber
some bean sprouts
spring mix lettuce

1. Slice all of the inside veggies and avocado into small strips
2. Tear lettuce into strips
3. Prepare the rice paper according to package instructions
4. Lay a thin layer of lettuce first followed by whatever other fillings you like and then another layer of lettuce.
5. Fold down top and bottom of the paper over the filling and roll from one side over the filling until it looks like an egg roll and the paper sticks well together.
6. Slice diagonally down the middle and dip into sauce.
7. Put in mouth and Enjoy!

SPRING ROLL DIPPING SAUCE

3 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
1/4 C soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp Sesame oil
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
a sprinkle of ground ginger
a sprinkle of garlic powder

Mix together and dip spring rolls in it.....SOOOO TASTY! (not to mention not all that bad for you either.
