Avocado Veggie Spring Rolls Instructions

Preparing Avocado Veggie Spring Rolls is a delightful process that allows you to get creative in the kitchen. Follow these simple steps to build your rolls!

1. In a blender, combine all the ingredients except the basil and cilantro. Blend until smooth. The mixture will be vibrant and aromatic, so you can already get a sense of the flavors coming together.
2. Add the basil and cilantro to the blender and pulse until chopped. You want the herbs to be finely mixed in, adding a pop of color and flavor to the sauce.
3. Pour the sauce into a bowl, cover, and place it in the fridge until ready to serve. Chilling the sauce will enhance the flavors, making it even more delicious when served.
4. Squeeze a little lime juice over the sliced avocado to prevent browning and keep it fresh. The citrus will also add a hint of flavor that pairs beautifully with the avocado.
5. Create an assembly line of your thinly sliced fresh vegetables. I love using carrots, bell peppers, butter lettuce, and fresh microgreens for added crunch and flavor. Lay everything out so it’s easy to grab while rolling.
6. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Take one rice paper sheet and dip it in the water for about 5 to 10 seconds. It should become pliable but not too soft. Remove it and place it on a flat surface.
7. Towards one end of the rice wrapper, begin layering with 1-2 slices of avocado, a small handful of fresh cilantro, mint, and a mix of your chosen vegetables. Be generous but don’t overstuff!
8. Sprinkle the filling with a little salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Fold both ends of the rice wrapper toward the center, then carefully roll it up tightly without ripping the wrapper. This is where the fun happens!
9. Place each prepared spring roll on a serving platter and cover with aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out. Keeping them covered is essential to maintain their freshness.
10. Continue with the remaining ingredients, adding them to the platter as you work. It’s okay to take your time; this part can be quite meditative!
11. Serve the spring rolls with the mango dipping sauce and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts on top if you’d like. The contrast of the crunchy peanuts with the soft spring rolls is simply delightful!
